Hearing Loss (HL) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases and the 5th cause of disability. HL increases the risk of cognitive decline, mental illness, and depression, and leads to social isolation, unemployment/early retirement, loss of income and work discrimination. The pre-eminent management strategy for HL is the provision of Hearing Aids (HAs), although their use is often problematic, c ...

Cognitive Control of a Hearing Aid (COCOHA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

We propose to design a hearing aid system that can be mentally (cognitively) steered so as to allow a more “natural communication” for the hearing disabled, a population that forms over 7% of Europeans (50 million people). Hearing disabilities lead to a degraded quality of life, exclusion, and associated costs for society. Hearing aids (and cochlear implants), while effective in quiet, are still u ...

This causes withdrawal from major social roles, such as the occupational role and imposes a risk for the ageing European population. LISTEN aims to train two ESRs through research, examining which current and new hearing aid technologies can successfu ...

Thin Interconnected Package Stacks (TIPS)

Start date: Sep 8, 2008, End date: Mar 7, 2012,

The project TIPS aims at the conflation of embedding technologies for electronic components into extremely thin packages and the interconnection of those packages into stacked electronic systems. The testing of individual packages before stacking is performed will mitigate stacked package yield issues.Embedding of components will be developed starting from a basis of different technical approaches ...
