Abstract:
This panel discussion will feature investigators in hearing science and audiology, including experts in binaural hearing, audiological assessment and rehabilitation, next-generation hearing aids, and auditory cognitive neuroscience. Brief presentations will highlight the current and future impacts of hearing science on AVAR—e.g., the evolution of binaural hearing aids as spatially intelligent devices, lessons from auditory scene analysis, and brain-directed signal processing. Applications of AVAR technology to hearing science and the audiology clinic will also be presented, e.g., the use of immersive VR to diagnose and retrain spatial hearing deficits and the benefits of using binaural devices to study hearing “in the wild.”
Price: This session is part of the co-located AVAR Conference which is not included in the normal convention All Access badge.
