Hearing-care practitioners have only limited time for a hearing-aid=20 fitting, and often most of the powerful features of modern hearing aids=20 are not or only to a very limited extent fitted to the individual needs=20 of the hearing impaired. A patient-driven process may also provide an=20 advantage to users that may benefit from controlling progress=20 themselves, but the user control may also result in non-optimal=20 adaptation to the aided situation. The present project will investigate the pros and cons of a=20 patient-driven process, utilizing a subset of diagnostics and hearing=20 aids, which offer solutions for user control. The position is part of a Danish project collaboration for better=20 hearing rehabilitation (BEAR-hearing.dk) with financial support from the=20 Innovation Foundation Denmark and partners (incl. Widex, GN Resound,=20 Oticon, DELTA a part of Force, the University of Southern Denmark, the=20 Danish Technical University, and the University Hospitals in Odense,=20 Aalborg and Copenhagen). The case populations, methods and technological=20 platforms for the study are determined in close collaboration with other=20 partners, and utilizing on-going work.
