Program

 

In the fields of hearing aids and headsets, mostly dominated by Danish companies in the world scene, AI is employed to offer unprecedent solutions and carve its way into staying ahead of anything available in the market. Partnering with the leading Hi-Tech companies and exploring the unique and high level of competence in AI in Danish universities, AI is taken to new levels and is being successfully deployed in different applications. This session will dive into the success of AI applications in audio applications through case stories garnered with visionary strategy. More specifically, the topics of this webinar will be: 

  • How AI improves speech recognition 
  • Data driven AI based algorithm for speech enhancement 
  • Present and future applications of AI in hearing aids

Lars Bramsløw, Senior Scientist at Eriksholm Research Centre 

Lars is a research engineer and project manager with the Augmented Hearing research group at Eriksholm Research Center (part of the Demant group). Lars is known in the field for his ambitious, thorough approach and has worked in several advanced concepts and research topics over the years. Lars leverages his experience to manage collaborators and different projects done at Eriksholm. His dream and highest motivation is to make the world’s best hearing aid. 

Lars started in Eriksholm in 1991 where he did his PhD in sound quality in hearing aids, predicting and modelling sound quality in hearing aids. After that, he left the company for a few years to do other things on Danish radio among other ventures. In 2000, Lars came back to the Oticon headquarters, and worked with audiology development for hearing aids until 2012. After 2012, he returned to Eriksholm to do what he does today – more in-depth and independent research and concepts in the hearing field.
