Published purpose

The Audio CARL by AHead Simulations is an Audio-enabled manikin capable of simulating a hearing loss patient through sound stimuli reactions and recording eardrum-level sound. While this is an excellent open-ended research and training tool, further R&D must take place to streamline the functionality of the unit for the end hearing aid user to be able to experience the benefits of hearing aids through the manikin in a hearing clinic.
