Melchior Käppel: Multimodal Investigations of Listening Effort in Children Across Speech Intelligibility Levels

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen

Listening under challenging conditions can be effortful and requires considerable cognitive resources. This is particularly relevant for children, for whom speech understanding is integral for learning and development. The Framework for Understanding Effortful Listening (FUEL) suggests that invested listening effort does not increase indefinitely with task demands, as motivation is an important factor in determining […]

Melchior Käppel: Hearing Health Thought Differently

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen

Many people around the world are living with hearing loss. Yet it is often stigmatized, undiagnosed, or ignored. Even though our hearing ability has a profound impact on communication, mental health, and quality of life, many people delay or avoid using well established hearing aids due to cost, accessibility, and social barriers. Apple is expanding […]

Frederike Rust: Breathing Rate Detection Using High-Pressure Sensors in Compressed-Air Breathing Apparatus

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen

Firefighting is physically highly demanding, possibly inducing severe health risks. Hence, monitoring vital parameters of firefighters at the scene is desirable. In this internship at Dräger it was assessed how accurately the breathing rate can be estimated using the pressure sensor of a compressed-air breathing apparatus. Different algorithms for estimating the breathing rate were developed […]
