Project description
We investigate the effect of noise exposure on individual recovery/damage of auditory-nerve integrity as an early marker for noise-induced hearing loss. We develop a low-power, unobtrusive auditory EEG technology that quantifies and monitors auditory-nerve integrity to study this presently unknown
relationship. Our technology opens up new avenues for auditory EEG based hearing diagnostics, damage prevention and treatment follow up.
