>Applications are invited for a limited number of PhD studentships at the 
>Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), Southampton, UK. 
>Research opportunities include several in the general area of hearing and 
>balance sciences, which will be based at ISVR's Hearing and Balance Centre.

>fundamental studies to more clinically-directed research, with several 
>projects linking these two extremes.  Examples of current project areas 
>include

> other advanced measurement techniques and mathematical modelling approaches
>  * early detection of onset of hearing loss
>  * application of signal processing techniques to hearing aids and 
> cochlear implants
>  * evaluation of the benefits of new generations of digital hearing aids
>  * improvement in the performance of hearing aid users over time
>  * the use of auditory responses in monitoring the depth of anaesthesia
>  * efficacy of strategies of  treatment and management of patients with 
> disturbances of balance.
>
>We also provide excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary research 
>involving other research groups within ISVR, and welcome enquiries from 
>suitable applicants interested in the above or other related areas.
