Jens Bo Nielsen
Jens Bo Nielsen has a Master in Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby. After graduating, Jens Bo Nielsen worked in industry, among other with the development of software for telephoneoperators and cell phones. In 2009 he obtained a PhD degree in psychoacoustics at the Centre for Applied Hearing Research (DTU). Here, he has since developed methods and material for testing speech intelligibility. The tests developed include the Danish version of Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Jens Bo Nielsen is a senior scientist in the BEAR project working with the new hearing tests for the assessment of the outcomes, users have from their hearing aids.
Work Area
Jens Bo Nielsen works with Aided performance in real life, where he develops new outcome measures. The measurements focus on parameters such as speech intelligibility, nosie annoyance, localization and more.
