AB  - A well-known issue in clinical audiology and hearing research is the level of abstraction of traditional experimental assessments and methods, which lack ecological validity and differ significantly from real-life experiences,often resulting in unreliable outcomes. Attempts to dealwith this matter by, for example, performing experimentsin real-life contexts, can be problematic due to the difficulty of accurately identifying control-specific parametersand events. Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) havethe potential to provide dynamic and immersive audiovisual experiences that are at the same time realistic andhighly controllable. Several successful attempts have beenmade to create and validate VR-based implementationsof standard audiological and linguistic tests, as well asto design procedures and technologies to assess meaningful and ecologically-valid data. Similarly, new viewpoints on auditory perception have been provided by looking at hearing training and auditory sensory augmentation, aiming at improving perceptual skills in tasks suchas speech understanding and sound-source localisation. In this contribution, we bring together researchers active inthis domain. We briefly describe experiments they havedesigned, and jointly identify challenges that are still openand common approaches to tackle them
