R3: Integrated Bioengineering
Program overview
Although hearing devices such as implants, hearing aids and hearing protection function well, HEARing CRC investigations into novel surgical techniques, bioengineering and biomaterials offer significant opportunities to develop new technologies that will further enhance function.
Researchers from the HEARing CRC are also investigating new approaches to speech coding for implants, hearing aids and hearing protection, for example through bone anchored hearing aids or middle ear implants.
More information about individual projects can be found below.
