Twenty per cent of hearing aid users in Norway use the equipment for only an hour each day. The reason is often poor fitting and inadequate support. Now all this could change.   By Åse Dragland When a person with hearing impairment is to be provided with a hearing aid, this usually takes place with...

...the dexterity of a pilot, and bundles of experience. At Forus just outside Stavanger, Norway, seven men and two women sit in what looks very like a dimly lit cinema auditorium. They are in the premises of the simulator company Oiltec Solutions. Expressions like “kick”, “mud” and “tool pusher” float around...

SINTEF researchers play an important role in Water Europe’s work on water security and resilience. The story of Water Europe, initially known as the Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform, begins in 2004, when it was established by the European Commission to confront water-related challenges...

...for sources of water, which focuses on water quality and fish welfare. Providing the conditions for a good “childhood” is vital for the subsequent growth and survival of the fish. This offers a challenge to technology and equipment design, and we are developing technical solutions to help the aquaculture...
