Paid Research Opportunities for Hearing Aid Users

So far we have not had any projects outside the US, but that does not mean we never will.

I think that if you post something like this, you should prominently include your company name and location to verify you are bona fide and mention the amount of pay and how and when it is provided. One should not be required to go to a web site and fill out a form BEFORE getting this kind of information.

I do see by your web site that you are part of hearingtracker.com so what’s the problem with saying that?

We work with a number of companies, research institutes, universities, etc that are trying to reach consumers with hearing loss for research purposes. We do not share the personal information you fill into the form, but do recruit for these entities using your information. Typically the researching entity does not ask for your name, etc, and we pay participants by connecting their survey completion to a unique code stored on our end. This maintains a layer of privacy and also means we (Hearing Tracker) don’t see any of the responses you add on surveys we invite you to. In other words, your responses cannot be connected back to you as an individual. Some studies do ask you to identify yourself, like interview-style qualitative research, and in those situations, this is indicated. We typically do not state who is conducting research, because typically the entities wish to remain anonymous so as not to introduce survey bias. Participants may review the terms of any study they wish to participate in prior to opting in and completing a survey / interview, as the email invites we send include any unique information pertaining to the research. I hope this helps.

Some people have participated in multiple studies already, and some none. I basically go through and try to find people that match the inclusion and exclusion criteria indicated for each individual study and then send out the invites. So, you aren’t really “chosen” so much as included in some studies but not others.

I am wondering if we will be hearing from them?

So. Tell me when these researches want to reach out to folks like me with cinderblock ears! I’d love to participate in any study or trial for a device targeted to the DEAF but still LIVING!

Still looking for participants?

Not a scam, here’s the place where we send rewards from

Nope - not a scam. I signed up several months ago and was sent a survey once. I think I got like a $10 Amazon card. Would love to do more

I never heard back from anyone so I guess they don’t need anymore subjects?

I signed up immediately, and haven’t heard from them since.

I guess I’m not what they are looking for.

You know there’s a bridge in Brooklyn that’s been for sale for quite a while now

I thought Chris Christie bought da bridge as a back door to NYC for campaigning?

Sold! Too bad. I was going to buy it with the money I’m getting from the Nigerian Prince.
