About the author

Adam Weisser (born 1978) is an independent researcher with a broad academic and industrial background in hearing science and acoustical engineering. He holds a PhD in Hearing Science from Macquarie University in Sydney (topic: Complex Acoustic Environments, supervised by Jörg Buchholz and co-supervised by Gitte Keidser), MSc in engineering acoustics from the Technical University of Denmark (topic: Small Room Acoustics, supervised by Jens Holdger Rindel and co-supervised by Jan Voetmann), and BA Cum Laude in Physics from the Technion in Haifa. In between he spent eight years in the hearing aid industry in Denmark, primarily in the research and development of remote-microphone wireless technologies for the hearing impaired population. Before that, he also worked in high-frequency microwave chip design (MMIC) in Israel. This industrial experience involved basic acquaintance with communication engineering. Along with a previous training in the fundamentals of optical physics and a long standing interest in photography and cinematography, as well as extensive experience in music performance and production, these influences coalesced into a way of thinking about hearing that informed the ideas presented in this manuscript.
