Jesper Jensen

Fellow

“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.”

What is your primary work area within Eriksholm Research Centre?

I am doing research in the area of machine learning, AI and signal processing for sound processing algorithms in hearing aid (HA) systems. This area is interesting and challenging given its rapid evolution. It allows us to attack problems that so far have been too hard to touch, while the final algorithms must be executed using extremely little energy consumption.

What originally triggered you interest in the hearing care field?

My educational background is in acoustic signal processing, making it a clear choice to work in hearing care, where you have the opportunity to create a profound and positive impact on many people’s lives.

What brought you to Eriksholm?

I have been working with research and long-term development projects at Oticon Headquarters for many years. With Eriksholm’s focus on machine learning and AI, my background seemed a perfect fit to Eriksholm’s activities.

What do you hope to achieve in the long run?

It is my impression that we can, in fact, find solutions which could significantly benefit people with hearing challenges. I think the idea of designing sound processing algorithms which, in a sense, collaborate with the hearing aid user could have great potential. This could, for example, be sound processing algorithms which continuously harvest information from the hearing aid user, e.g. body or brain signals, to decide which sound should ideally be presented to the user at any given moment in time.

What do you do in your spare time when you’re not working at Eriksholm?

In my spare time, I like spending time with my family – I have two early-teen children, who still like to spend time with their parents. Apart from that, I go running in the forest as often as I can.

What is the most exciting scientific breakthrough or invention in your time?

On a grand scale, there are many scientific breakthroughs in physics and artificial intelligence that have had tremendous impact. In areas close to hearing care, I would mention cochlear implants – I am certainly not an expert in the area, but the fact that devices implanted in your inner ear can bring a lost sense back to life is pure science fiction to me. In fact, perhaps a first step towards sending electric signals from the outside world to your brain.

What do you hope will happen in future science?

While the revolution of AI is certainly beneficial on many different levels, my hope would be that this area would be treated with more objectivity and scientific rigor than is currently the case.
