Odense M
The Department of Clinical Research at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is looking for applicants for a PhD position in the field of audiology. The position is available for three years from Aug. 1st 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Research environment
The PhD student will be affiliated with the Research Unit of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology at SDU, which is divided into three sections covering research related to surgically related ENT, medical audiology and technical audiology. The advertised position is available in the technical audiology section.
Project description
It is well known that speech intelligibility can decrease as the overall sound intensity increases – an effect known as rollover. Recently, a link between rollover and cochlear synaptopathy has been suggested. In other words, rollover may be a sign of retro-cochlear damage as caused by deafferentiation of the auditory nerve, for example. Currently, there is limited knowledge about the functional consequences of rollover. Furthermore, there is a lack of research into ways of addressing them with hearing devices. The purpose of this PhD project is to develop new methods for the clinical assessment and compensation of rollover effects in individual listeners. To that end, studies will be conducted with adult participants that can shed light on the underlying mechanisms and that can lead to new solutions for hearing rehabilitation.
The PhD project forms part of a larger research project carried out in collaboration with Oticon A/S and the Interacoustics Research Unit. Collaborations with colleagues at SDU are also anticipated.
