About us

Eriksholm Research Centre is part of Oticon, a world leader in hearing care. We share the same philosophy that people are our main source of insights. Therefore, we are committed to making audiological discoveries with the potential to significantly enhance end-user benefits in future hearing care.  

At Eriksholm Research Centre we strive to identify means of improving the listening experience for people using hearing solutions. We do this by exploring how the brain processes sound and by uncovering parameters which determine the individual’s listening experience.  

We engage in close collaborations with world leading academic research institutions. By bringing experts together, we are able to create mutually beneficial research synergies and open up new lines of inquiry in the broader research community. 

By engaging in continuous dialogue with a large number of people living with hearing loss and the care professionals dedicated to helping them, we are able to maintain a deep understanding of the real-life implications of hearing loss and gauge the impact of our ideas with real people in their everyday lives. 

The result is a team of multi-disciplinary staff able to identify and demonstrate new opportunities within audiology, signal processing and behavioral science.

History

Eriksholm Research Centre was established in 1976 with the purpose of physically detaching a handful of engineers from the shorter-term, product-based research in Oticon’s research and development department and allow them the opportunity to do longer-term and more basic research at a separate location for potential, later application in hearing solutions. 

Today more than 40 scientists do research within four different, but still closely connected areas: Personalized audiology, Cognitive Hearing Science, Intent Decoding and Artificial Intelligence. We have four designated laboratories, two clinics for hearing-rehabilitation of our more than 300 test subjects, and an auditorium for dissemination of our findings.

“I hope to be able to come up with solutions that make a difference to people, and that my research output can inspire other researchers to come up with new ideas.”

Principal Scientist

“Great research within the hearing care field is going on all over the globe currently, and I really hope this work will be implemented in future hearing aids to further improve quality of life for people with hearing impairment. I expect to see even smarter hearing aids that will be able to interact more with the environment and the hearing aid user by knowing the intention of the user. A lot of exciting work will impact the future.”

I feel very lucky to work in a field that allows me to use my engineering skills while having a direct impact on people’s health and the way they progress through their everyday environment.

I hope science continues to move in a direction where collaboration across disciplines becomes the norm. Some of the most exciting breakthroughs happen when different fields intersect like neuroscience and AI. I also hope we become even better at translating research into real-world solutions that make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

“The perhaps biggest pleasure I have in my job is to solve challenging problems together with talented, enthusiastic colleagues. And seeing that the result of all our work – the final sound processing algorithms – brings immense satisfaction, especially knowing that it significantly improves the experience for end users.”

History of hearing aids

The Eriksholm Collection charts the history of hearing aids and hosts a unique collection of mechanical, electrical, and electronic instruments. 

As one of the most complete collections in the world, the Eriksholm Collection provides an impressive overview of the advances in hearing-aid technology over more than a century. In addition to more than 800 historic hearing aids, the collection also contains about 50 different brands of mechanical devices from the US and Europe, dating from 1800 to 1950. The Eriksholm Collection charts the history of hearing aids and hosts a unique collection of mechanical, electrical, and electronic instruments.
