In the European Union-funded project "ICanHear", an international team of researchers is working on the next generation of implantable hearing aids to improve hearing quality in complex acoustic environments. Together with Dr. Rainer Martin (RUB), HGI Prof. Dorothea Kolossa is working on algorithms that make it easier for users of hearing aids to distinguish important from unimportant sounds. In order to understand human hearing better, the researchers used test subjects without hearing defects as a model. To do this, they played audio samples to them and then noted how well they could be understood with different modifications.
The participants present their joint work in a video on YouTube.
