Tool Version Log

A public baseline for NeuraHear assessment tools, release notes, data-boundary statements, and future study-facing changes.

Why this matters

Research tools change over time. Version notes help future users know which calibration, stimuli, scoring, export, and data-handling assumptions applied.

Back to tools

Document the current baseline

Each public research tool should show its stage, status, data handling, outputs, and version note before use.

Separate interface updates from study data

Static site releases should not overwrite server-backed records such as iDIN participant results.

Record meaningful behavior changes

Calibration, stimuli, scoring, export format, and backend changes should be logged before a tool is used for new data collection.

Current baseline

Public assessment-tool register

LiveSpeech-in-noise assessment

integrated Digit-in-Noise Test

A browser-based screening workflow with calibration, device checks, adaptive SNR testing, and server-backed data capture.

Version note
Active deployment
Data boundary
Responses are submitted to the project backend for study use.
LiveStimulus optimization

Digit Optimization Test

A fixed-SNR single-digit workflow for estimating PI functions and generating correction levels for sequence synthesis.

Version note
Noise calibration enabled
Data boundary
Runs in the browser; individual and pooled results are exported by the researcher.
In validationEveryday functioning PROM

HFEQ-Mandarin Research Preview

An ICF-based questionnaire workflow for Mandarin-speaking adults, covering hearing, communication, participation, support, personal resources, and health.

Version note
Manuscript-linked preview
Data boundary
Browser-only completion and export for research preview use.
In developmentAI in hearing care

AI-Guided Hearing-Care Workflows

Planned tools for AI-supported questionnaire guidance, triage, interpretation, and care-pathway support, developed with human oversight.

Version note
Concept stage
Data boundary
No public tool yet; future tools will separate research data, generated outputs, and review records.

Release notes

Recent platform and tool-facing changes

Released2026-05-20NeuraHear platform

Public version log established

Site release 2026.05.20

A public version and credibility layer now records the current tool baseline, release notes, contact route, and data-boundary statements.

  • Added a research contact page and connected it to navigation, footer, sitemap, and structured data.
  • Added tool study-planning cues so researchers can check versioning, calibration, export format, and backup expectations before use.
  • Established this version log as the place to record future tool-facing releases.

Data boundary: Static website content only; the iDIN server data directory and study records are not modified by this release.

Current assessment-tool baseline captured

Baseline 2026.05

The public tool registry now makes each tool's stage, validation status, data handling, outputs, and version note visible from the Tools page.

  • iDIN remains the operational server-backed speech-in-noise workflow.
  • Digit Optimization is listed as a live stimulus-development workflow with noise calibration enabled.
  • HFEQ-Mandarin is listed as an in-validation PROM research preview.

Data boundary: The baseline is a documentation snapshot; individual tool behavior remains governed by each tool page and deployment route.

Discovery metadata and sitemap hardened

SEO release 2026.05

The site now publishes route metadata, canonical URLs, robots rules, sitemap entries, and social-card metadata for better indexing and sharing.

  • Added site-wide metadata defaults and page-level metadata helpers.
  • Added robots and sitemap generation for primary public routes.
  • Added public social-card metadata for shared links.

Data boundary: Static discovery metadata only; no participant records or test data are touched.

Before a study release

Log behavior changes before new data collection starts.

Calibration flow, audio stimuli, scoring, export fields, server routes, and backup assumptions should be recorded here before a protocol uses a new version.
