Beschreibung
This book will sell particularly owing to the increasing number of people
in older age groups of the population in industrialised countries, which
means that the number of people with some degree of hearing impairment is
also increasing. Recent legislation in many of these countries requires
the use of technology to enhance the access of hearing-impaired and
deaf-blind people to everyday facilities and will produce a ready-made
market for those trained and researching in those technologies.
The student reader will learn how to use electrical engineering expertise to solve cross-disciplinary problems in a growing field Will teach them to be aware of both the physiological and engineering sides of the problem at once The practitioner reader will learn how to apply state-of-the-art electrical engineering in the real world of hearing impairment The provision of large numbers of suggestions for further investigation and research will help the reader in project design and give him more in-depth insight into the likely pitfalls and opportunities of making generic solutions fit individual cases Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
