ICANHEAR

To push frontiers of knowledge in hearing research, digital signal processing and hearing instrument technology, ICanHear has built an interdisciplinary network of five academic and two industrial institutions, bridging traditional research areas. ICanHear recruited 14 doctoral and five postdoctoral researchers with different backgrounds including audiology, biomedical engineering, information technology and physics, to train and prepare them for the future scientific workforce, which will become increasingly interdisciplinary... Research in ICanHear focused on paving the way towards the next generation of hearing aids and cochlear implants (Cis) with improved user experience in complex acoustic environments. The research activities were structured around three themes: Modelling of neural signal processing in the impaired auditory system, Evaluation of hearing instrument processing and aided hearing and Application of new strategies for improved communication. Two central components..
