The sense of hearing: one of the most important senses for communication, orientation and safety. But more than 1.5 billion people worldwide are affected by hearing loss. They are the focus of cutting-edge research in the Cluster of Excellence – hearing for all!
Researchers from the cluster are introduced in short video portraits. They describe their path into hearing research, talk about current research projects and explain their personal motivation.
This hearing test offers a simple and anonymous way to check the condition of your hearing. The screening procedure determines how well you can understand speech in a noisy environment.
The goal of the Cluster of Excellence “Hearing4all” is to be taken literally: Through the advancement of individualized hearing diagnostics and corresponding provision of personal hearing aids, the scientists seek to significantly improve the communication situation of those affected.
Today, we're starting a new series of scientists’ portraits: "Hearing Minds". Its aim is to make cluster members from all status groups better known to each other as well as to the general public and the scientific community. Our Spokesperson Christiane Thiel, professor of Biological Psychology at the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg makes the start.
