Carl Pedersen

Carl Pedersen is a researcher at the Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, with additional affiliations at Karolinska Institutet and Odense University Hospital's Research unit of Oto Rhino Laryngology. He recently completed his PhD in May 2025 with a dissertation on user-operated audiometry systems.

His research focuses on validating alternative methods for hearing assessment, particularly examining how user-operated audiometry compares to traditional methods conducted by audiologists. This work has significant implications for increasing accessibility to hearing tests, especially in settings where audiologists are scarce. Dr. Pedersen's work spans technical development of testing methods, clinical trials comparing different approaches, and investigations into real-world implementation challenges.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a research trajectory from technical validation of user-operated testing systems to clinical implementation studies. His work demonstrates particular expertise in comparing user-operated versus traditional audiometry, developing novel testing protocols, and identifying practical challenges in real-world settings.
