Cochlear implants are labour-intensive to fine-tune, but this man’s new algorithm cuts time and volunteer hours – ABC News
Cochlear implants can be a life-changing tool for people with hearing loss — but they’re not perfect. Now, a biomedical engineer has come up with a new approach…
Cochlear implants are so widespread that it’s easy to take for granted what a life-changing tool they are for people with hearing loss.
But they’re not perfect.
Implants don’t always perform well in noisy areas, and they can be more effective for some people than others but improving the designis a labour-intensive process that relies heavily on the work of volunteers who use them.
Now, a biomedical engineer at The University of Sydney, who has cochlear implants himself, has come up with an algorithm…
