Miguel Angel Aranda De Toro
Driven by my passion for music, I studied acoustic engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Spain, 1995—1999). After experiencing the constant deafening sounds of rock concerts, I became interested in the prevention of hearing loss, especially among musicians. Hence, I moved to Aalborg University (Denmark) to continue my education as M. Sc. Electronic Engineer with focus on the use of engineering methods for audiological purposes. In 2010, after lots of sleepless nights, I finally completed my Ph.D. in the topic of otoacoustic emissions and their use for early detection of hearing loss. GN Hearing (Denmark) gave me an opportunity in 2010 as International Audiologist and Product Trainer, providing audiological and technical support in more than 80 countries --and what a great ride it has been. Currently, I work as a Lead Research Scientist in Global Audiology, exploring how new technologies can improve the lives of people with hearing loss – and turning complex science into clear, engaging stories that everyone can relate to.
