PhD scholarship in Assessing Hearing Performance of Teenagers with Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)’ – DTU Health Tech

Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of patients with hearing aids and cochlear implants? Do you possess a blend of signal processing skills and clinical interest in teenagers with hearing devices? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

This PhD project aims to investigate hearing performance and brain activity during listening tasks, using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which is a non-invasive neuroimaging method that measures changes in blood oxygen levels in the brain. We will focus on patients who are teenagers, as they are considered the new generation of patients with hearing devices.

PhD scholarship in Measurement Methods, Reliability, and Uncertainty in Acoustic-Mechanical Microsystems – DTU Electro

Are you interested in developing and advancing state-of-the-art measurement methods for sound and vibration in miniature audio systems?

The small scale of smart hearables such as ear pods, headsets, and hearing aids present unique challenges to accurately and reliably measure the acoustic and vibroacoustic behaviour of their components. But modelling, simulation, and optimization of such devices relies on accurate measurement data.

As a PhD candidate with us you will investigate and develop measurement methods suitable for small parts and evaluate reliability and uncertainty of these methods.
