PhD position in hearing aid research (Oldenburg University, Eriksholm Research Ce ntre, HörTech Oldenburg)

[Tobias Neher <tobias.neher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

I would like to announce a PhD position in my group within the Medical 
Physics Section, Oldenburg University, Germany in close collaboration 
with the Eriksholm Research Centre, Oticon A/S, Denmark, and HörTech 
gGmbH, Oldenburg, Germany.

PROJECT TITLE
Effects of advanced hearing aid signal processing on spatial awareness 
perception

PROJECT SUMMARY
Hearing-impaired listeners experience great difficulty not only with 
participating in group conversations and with listening in noise, but 
also with judging distance and movement, especially in complex listening 
situations. Current hearing aids can do little to improve these 
abilities. This PhD project therefore aims to identify possible avenues 
for their improvement by studying the effects of advanced hearing aid 
processing schemes on so-called spatial awareness perception. It 
constitutes an excellent opportunity for a motivated individual 
interested in pursuing experimental hearing aid research at the 
intersection of academia and industry.

More information about the project is available from the following website:
<http://www.hoertech.de/web/hoertech/jobs_2.shtml>

Deadline for applications is June 30th 2014. Interested candidates are 
welcome to contact me for further details.

Best, Tobias Neher
