Martin Skoglund

Senior Scientist

“I hope that more attention will be given to application of the best scientific contributions.”

What is your primary work area within Eriksholm Research Centre?

I am mainly occupied with projects within two of Eriksholm’s focus areas, Personalized Audiology and Cognitive Hearing Effort Compensation. I am based at Linköping University where I am primarily engaged in activities and projects involving multi-sensor processing.

What originally triggered you interest in the hearing care field?

In my previous jobs, up till 2016, I worked with navigation platforms in rather different fields, but then I one day stumbled across an opportunity to utilize this expertise of mine in hearing sciences as part of the Linköping University and Eriksholm collaboration. It turns out that user and target location, and orientation, are just as important in sensor processing as it is in general navigation.

What brought you to Eriksholm?

Linköping University and Eriksholm Research Centre have had a close collaboration for around 30 years now, and when the opportunity occurred, I got my current position as sort of an interface, overlooking our joint activities.

What motivates you in your job?

Oh, many things. I love working with data and solving problems, and I really enjoy both the scientific, but definitely also the social interaction with my colleagues. Last, but not least, contributing to reducing the daily pains of people with hearing impairment motivates me a lot.

What do you hope to achieve in the long run?

I hope to be able to contribute to making advances in hearing science and thereby to improve the life of people with hearing loss. In the end, that will be to the benefit of many others, too, for instance spouses, relatives, and friends.

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

Well, besides parenting, I make time for physical exercise, like biking, running, and general workouts. I also enjoy exercising my brain which I do by playing the trumpet and reading books. Finally, I like to relax by doing a bit of gardening and carpentry.

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

Working within my scientific field, the development within digitalization and miniaturization of electronics that has been essential in science and innovation for the past 40 years, has really made an impact on what is possible today.

What do you hope will happen in future science?

I hope that more attention will be given to application of the best scientific contributions.
