Two independently developed surveys are assessing the accuracy of AI chatbot-generated responses in hearing healthcare. Audiologists with clinical experience are invited to contribute by completing these surveys. Survey A was developed by a team from São Paulo, and Survey B by a group from Pretoria.

For a fun selection method, flip a coin: heads for Survey A, tails for Survey B—or become a super contributor by doing both!

Survey A: Participate in a Study Evaluating AI-Generated Responses on WHO’s Hearing Aid Service Delivery Approaches for LMIC Settings

We invite audiologists with clinical experience to complete a short 20-30 minute survey assessing 24 AI-generated texts based on WHO priorities for hearing aid service delivery in low- and middle-income countries. Your feedback on these AI-generated texts will help guide the future of AI in hearing healthcare.
This survey is designed by Hector G.C. de Matos (USP) under the supervision of Jan-Willem Wasmann (Radboudumc), Lilian C.B. Jacob (USP), and Thais C. Morata (NIOSH/CDC).

Survey B: Study on AI Chatbots in Audiology Case Interpretation

We invite qualified audiologists with at least 2 years of clinical experience to participate in a 20-minute survey. The study aims to compare the accuracy and quality of hearing care advice provided by AI-based chatbots with that of audiologists, specifically in the interpretation and management of cases involving adults with hearing loss.
Participants will be randomly assigned one of two roles:
  1. Interpret case studies and provide management recommendations.
  2. Evaluate the accuracy of previously completed interpretations.
This research is conducted by Nicole Labuschagne (University of Pretoria) under the supervision of Prof. De Wet Swanepoel, Prof. Faheema Mahomed-Asmail, and Prof. Vinaya Manchaiah.

Once consent to contact is obtained, the research team will reach out to you.
