Laboratory testing equipment is arranged inside an acoustics research facility. Two large materials testing machines stand on either side of a desk with a computer workstation, monitor and telephone. A banner for the UK Acoustics Network (UKAN) is displayed on the left, featuring the text “The Focal Point of Acoustics.” Additional laboratory equipment, cables and a blue trolley are visible around the room, highlighting a controlled environment for acoustics and materials research.

Accessible Tinnitus Notch Noise Therapy via Machine Learning, Acoustic Metamaterials and Additive Manufacturing

Project outline Over seven million people in the UK live with tinnitus — the persistent perception of sound when no external source is present. Tinnitus can cause distress, anxiety, and […]
