Raul Sanchez Lopez

Raul Sanchez Lopez is a certified Hearing Aid Audiologist from IES Moratalaz (2005), and has worked as an audiologist for more than 10 years. He studied Telecommunication within Audio and Video at University of Madrid in Spain, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2013. In 2015, he received a Master of Science in Engineering Acoustics from the Danish Technical University in Denmark, where he on August 14, 2020 defended his PhD degree on "Clinical auditory profiling and profile-based hearing-aid fitting". In 2020 he started working at Interacoustics, while continuing part-time as Post Doc at DTU.

Work Area

Raul contributes primarily to the work on new strategies for profiling and fitting for treating potential hearing aid users.
