Dear colleagues, Two fully funded PhD stipends are open for application at
Aalborg University as part of the BEAR project. 1) Patient-driven diagnostics and hearing-aid fitting, Hearing-care practitioners have only limited time for a
hearing-aid fitting, and often most of the powerful features of
modern hearing aids are not or only to a very limited extent
fitted to the individual needs of the hearing impaired. A
patient-driven process may also provide an advantage to users that
may benefit from controlling progress themselves, but the user
control may also result in non-optimal adaptation to the aided
situation. Further information can be found here:

with low compensation benefit The topic of the position relate to the situation of individuals,
who experience hearing problems, but have low compensation benefit
from regular hearing-aids. Further information can be found here: http://www.stillinger.aau.dk/vis-stilling/?vacancy=978420 The positions are part of a Danish project collaboration for better
