Doctoral project: "Bone conducted stimulation in audiology and neurotology: new perspectives"

Principal supervisor: Luca Verrecchia

Co-supervisors: Bo Håkansson, Sabine Reinfeldt, Karl-Johan Fredén Jansson

My research in audiology and otoneurology focuses on how bone-conduction stimulation can be used to detect and investigate disorders of the hearing and balance systems. Through clinical studies, I examine how a new bone-conduction transducer, called the B250, can improve precision in various diagnostic tests. The goal is to develop new measurement methods that make it easier to identify disorders that are currently difficult to diagnose. Ultimately, this research strives to provide healthcare with better tools, potentially leading to earlier interventions and improved quality of life for affected patients.
