Hvem vi er<\/h3>\t\t\t
Projektet havde deltagelse af en gruppe dedikerede mennesker, der kom fra audiologiske klinikker, universiteter, teknologisk service, og h\u00f8reapparatindustrien. Det var medicinske audiologer og otologer, ingeni\u00f8rer, konsulenter og audiologop\u00e6der. Nogle unge, andre mere erfarne. Nogle arbejdede p\u00e5 projektet p\u00e5 fuld tid, andre p\u00e5 deltid og med andre forpligtelser. Enkelte havde direkte erfaringer med h\u00f8reneds\u00e6ttelse og rehabilitering.\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Oscar Ca\u00f1ete modtog sin faglige kvalificering ved Universidad de Chile som klinisk audiolog. Han arbejdede i omkring 10 \u00e5r i Chile p\u00e5 offentlige og private hospitaler, hvor han leverede service til en bred befolkningsgruppe. Han tog sin PhD fra universitetet i Auckland, New Zealand (2017). Efter afslutningen af sin PhD-uddannelse har han v\u00e6ret involveret i flere projekter som unders\u00f8gelse af den sensoriske status hos let kognitivt sv\u00e6kkede voksne, lytteanstrengelse hos cochlear implantat brugere og h\u00f8relsens processering i Pacific Island Youth (PIFS-studie) i New Zealand. Oscar Ca\u00f1ete was first employed in BEAR at DTU, then SDU.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
