Many people are able to naturally solve the cocktail

party problem without thinking much about it. Hearing

aids are not there yet. Understanding how the human

brain processes sound in loud environments can lead to
advancements in hearing aid designs.

The COMSOL Mu|tiphysics® software is used for simulating
designs, devices, and processes in all fields of engineering,
manufacturing, and scientific research. See how you can

apply it to hearing aid design.
