Artificial Hearing Research

The sense of hearing plays an important role in interpersonal relationships, orientation and in danger recognition. In Europe, more than 20% of adults suffer from some form of hearing impairment, ranging from slight loss up to complete deafness. In order to improve hearing loss treatments, the Artificial Hearing Research group aims to optimise the design and functionality of implantable hearing systems, in addition to developing enhanced surgical implantation techniques. Within a multidisciplinary team and in collaboration with industrial and clinical partners, research within the fields of audiology, signal processing, sound conduction mechanics, computer assisted surgical planning and minimally invasive surgical techniques, are investigated.

The research group of artificial hearing is at any given point interested in offering academic work opportunities to highly motivated and encouraged individuals at all levels (i.e. Master Students, PhD students, PostDocs, Group leaders etc.). We are always looking forward to receiving applications from interested persons with a broad background in audiology, engineering, computer science, physics and mathematics.
