Job description
The University of Southern Denmark, Department of Clinical Research is offering a position as Research assistant with the possibility of being enrolled as a PhD student in relation to the User-operated Audiometry project (UAud). The UAud project is funded by Innovation Fund Denmark and the William Demant Foundation in collaboration with the technical faculty of the University of Southern Denmark, Odense University Hospital, Interacoustics Research Unit and Oticon.
The aim of the PhD study is to validate if user-operated audiometry is equal in validity to manual conducted audiometry and therefore can be used for fitting hearing aids at the same accurate level. The aim is to test a clinical set-up with user operated audiometry in a randomized controlled trial with manual conducted audiometry. Patients referred for hearing aid treatment will test them-selves with user-operated audiometry as they will have a manual audiometry test. Following the audiometry test, the hearing aid will be fitted using one of the two tests. Following an acclimatization period with the new hearing aids, the patients will be tested with aided speech intelligibility tests in free field. Patients will also respond to questionnaire in order to have patient reported outcome measures regarding their perceived benefit in relation to the hearing with the hearing aids.
For further information about the position please contact associate professor Jesper Hvass Schmidt, MD PhD, Department of ORL - Head & Neck Surgery and Audiology, ([email protected]).
