Topic:
Online Sound Control of Hearing Instruments based on Multimodal 
User in the Loop Feedback


Hearing instruments like hearing aids, cochlear implants but also audio devices are 
typically adjusted for optimal sound perception adjusted to the listening condition.
Only limited and/or inconvenient control is given in the listening condition itself. This 
PhD project focuses on new multimodal user interaction strategies to control hearing 
instruments as well as audio devices. Preferably, the strategies investigated will
unobtrusively put the user in the control loop. Brain computer interfaces are one 
option to do so.

The project is contractually linked to the University of Oldenburg and will be carried 
out at the Fraunhofer research group Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology 
(www.idmt.fraunhofer.de/en/hsa) which offers an attractive scientific and application 
oriented environment in an international team of scientists and access to state-of-theart acoustical equipment and labs.

Duties of the candidate:
• To use, develop and investigate multimodal intended (e.g., gestures) 
and unintended (e.g., BCI) human machine interaction strategies to 
control sound of hearing instruments and audio devices
• To design, carry out, and analyse subjective listening tests with normalhearing and hearing impaired test subjects
• To prepare scientific manuscripts

Desired experience of the candidate:
• Master degree (or equivalent) in psychology, physics, electrical 
engineering or a related field
• Excellent grades and preferably a solid background in psychoacoustics, 
audiology, human machine interaction and/or signal processing are 
required
• Familiarity with scientific tools and programming languages such as 
MATLAB or C, as well as good English language skills are desirable. 
• Research experience in any of the mentioned fields and a strong 
interest in interdisciplinary and application-oriented work is desirable.


Applications must include a letter of motivation directly related to this PhD topic, CV, 
a copy of the university diplomas/transcripts and – if applicable – a list of publications 
at the address below. Position can be started immediately.
