Please complete this survey if you are interested in joining the RNID Tech User Experience (UX) Panel. 


The Tech UX Panel will be used to help researchers, developers and manufacturers of new and existing technologies meet user needs. This may be through surveys, interviews and focus groups to review concepts or hands on testing of technologies either directly through RNID or partners we are working with.

It is important that our Tech UX Panel includes a diverse range of people. To understand who is applying to our panel, this survey asks a range of questions including information about your hearing, ethnicity and location.

You do not have to answer every question, but the more details you can provide, the better informed we will be about the panel. We will use the information to recruit particular groups of people where an area of technology development may be of interest to them.

Panel members will be contacted by email about opportunities to help test and review products and services and can then choose which projects they participate in. We also contact panel members to share research findings, updates on projects and share information on how evidence from the panel is shaping our work.

We use a third party email provider, further information is available in our Privacy Policy statement. By providing your email address you consent to us contacting you by email as described above.
