This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Insoo Kim, Department of Medicine.
Project Description: The primary objective of this project is to develop self-fitting hearing aids that enhance speech intelligibility while adapting to individual user preferences through a self-administered hearing assessment and fitting procedure. Students will contribute to the development and evaluation of a self-administered speech intelligibility test based on the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT). Student responsibilities will include administering MRT sessions in an audiometric booth, assisting with participant management, and supporting data collection, processing, and statistical analysis. In addition, students will assist graduate researchers in the development and evaluation of AI/ML-based speech enhancement algorithms, contributing to data preparation, testing workflows, and performance analysis in support of adaptive, user-centered hearing aid design. Through these activities, students will gain hands-on experience in auditory perception research, human-subject experimentation, and data-driven evaluation of hearing aid technologies.
