Program

 

The growing interest in the potential of music as an innovative intervention in health care is seen worldwide. Research suggests that music can help target common challenges in health care such as pain, anxiety and insomnia without causing negative side-effects and with relatively low costs. With an increased life-time expectancy, there is a greater need for safe and low-cost interventions in health care to address the needs of the patients now and in the future. The guests at this webinar will share the latest state-of-the-art knowledge on how music impacts us as human beings and provides an overview of how these effects can be used as evidence-based interventions in health care settings.

Kathleen Faulkner, PhD, has worked with individuals with hearing loss for over 20 years. In particular, she has worked closely with cochlear implant patients both as a clinical audiologist and as an academic and industry research scientist. Her research is motivated by her clinical background and focuses on better understanding the enormous variability in outcome and benefit for patients who use cochlear implants. In her current role, she is responsible for carrying out clinical research studies in collaboration with academic and clinical partners.

Jakob Nielsen, M.Sc. Multimedia Technology, ITU, BA Musicology has since 2004 been working in RnD at hearing aid manufacturer Widex which is now part of WS Audiology. In his job, Jakob has been developing new algorithms for hearing aids, focusing on human perception of sounds. Among this he has developed hearing aid solutions for tinnitus treatment. The use of random generated music in the solutions calls for a broad understanding of hearing aid technology, music, and human psychology.
