We are very excited on #worldhearingday to announce the re-scheduled Royal Society Meeting organised by the Cambridge Hearing Group: Realising the Potential of #cochlearimplants Applications are open! royalsociety.org/science-events…

MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit’s virtual “All about the brain” event, as part of the Cambridge Festival is now live! Listen to excellent pre-recorded talks and play some online demos 😎 mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/public-engagem… #CambridgeFestival #CBUScienceFest #ScienceEvent

New article out at Frontiers for Young Minds: How to build smarter hearing devices that can learn from their mistakes Thanks to Jess Monaghan for the collaboration! kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #audpeeps Cambridge Hearing Group NAL MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

Exciting job opportunity below!

We have an exciting PhD studentship funded by ARU Science & Engineering Deafblind UK aiming to improve social & academic outcomes for children with dual sensory impairment/#deafblindness. Due to funding restrictions only available as FT position to UK candidates. findaphd.com/phds/project/i…

Just out: Manchester BRC review of online hearing tests. There's a lot but accuracy & reliability of many unknown doi.org/10.1080/149920… @ManCAD_UoM NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre British Academy of Audiology British Society of Audiology ENT UK EntNewsUK

Lots of great talks lined up for VCCA2022 with an impressive range of topics across Computational Audiology: computationalaudiology.com/wp-content/upl… Starting next week, register for free!

We have an exciting new opportunity in Bob Carlyon's lab at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit for a part-time Senior Research Audiologist for 4 years in the first instance. Applications close 31st August. #cochlearimplant #auditoryjobs #hearingresearch jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/36214/

❗️Another week, another PhD student has come to my office in tears as they can’t afford to live in London on £18k. And this is before the price cap increase. UK Research and Innovation this time - can I ask what you are doing to support the next-generation so there is a next-generation?! Pls RT

A fully computational model to predict speech performance of cochlear implant users, from microphone input to listener's phoneme confusions. Finally out: doi.org/10.1109/TBME.2… with manohar bance, Cambridge Hearing Group, Iwan Roberts, Tobias Goehring

📢 JOB ALERT: Research Assistant Join the Deep Hearing Lab and help to improve cochlear implants and hearing devices 🦻 jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38873/ Closing: 31 January 2023 Cambridge Hearing Group MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

We have 2 summer internships available for students via the SHARE programme to increase access to research:

Next year our Unit MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge will be 80 years old (mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/history/). Sadly, the UK MRC has decided to now close all its units and our funding ends in 2027 so it’s the end of an era for the CBU as we know it. 1/n

Do you have a Cochlear Implant? 👂 Please consider taking part in our research studies. ➡️ participateci.uk #cochlearimplant #hearingresearch #audpeeps #participate #cochlearimplantresearch Cambridge Hearing Group

Later this summer we'll be launching our next themed research call: addressing age-related #hearing and #vision through #HealthTech. Read the pre-announcement and register your interest for our kick-starter event in early June: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/QRK5MX/ #healthyageing

MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit are excited to announce the #CamFest2024 open evening ‘Mind Matters: An evening looking into the brain’ on Wednesday 20 March from 6pm. Enjoy hands-on activities, tours of Unit facilities and excellent short talks. Full details: mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/events/science… Cambridge Festival

New preprint out with Tobias Goehring Cambridge Hearing Group MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

Delighted to share our new 👂research with Clément Gaultier: Deep Learning can improve speech perception in noisy and reverberant situations for Cochlear Implant listeners! Thanks to support by Fondation Pour l'Audition and Medical Research Council. Cambridge Hearing Group MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit #cochlearimplants #audpeeps

Deep learning-based speaker extraction can enhance speech intelligibility in noisy multi-talker environments where uninformed speech enhancement methods fail. doi.org/10.1121/10.002… #acoustics #speech #MachineLearning Cambridge Hearing Group
