UC San Diego, SDSU to Roll Out Research Platform to Improve Hearing-Aid Technologies

A team of engineers from the University of California San Diego and audiologists from San Diego State University has set out an ambitious timetable for delivering two new electronic platforms to dramatically improve and accelerate research on better hearing aids. Led by Qualcomm Institute research scientist Harinath Garudadri as well as UC San Diego co-principal investigators and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) professors Patrick Mercier and Bhaskar Rao, the UC San Diego-SDSU team has been awarded a $2.1 million grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
