Golden Ears Training/Certification
ILaB offers a specialized training tool and certification program - called the Golden Ears Training Tool - enabling customers to train their product developer to be more aware of the different attributes of quality audio.
What is a Golden Ear?A Golden Ear is a term commonly used in professional audio circles to refer to a person who is considered to hold special talents in his/her hearing. A person with golden ears is able to discern subtle differences in audio reproduction that most inexperienced and untrained listeners cannot.ILaB developed an rigorous in-house training and certification program to ensure that team members are certified Golden Ears. As hearing capabilities degrade with age, our internal Sound Quality Process (SQP) requires that team-members are re-certified periodically to safeguard the quality of our perceptual test processes. Some of our team-members even take it one step further, and take pride in being certified as "Platinum Ears". |
If you feel up to the challenge, we would be happy to test your hearing capabilities as well. But be warned, it's not for the "weak eared"!
