Invitation to the 21st Annual Meeting of the German Society for Audiology (DGA)

We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to you for the 21st Annual Meeting of the German Society for Audiology (DGA), taking place from February 28th to March 3rd, 2018, in the historic city of Halle (Saale).

Welcome to Halle

Halle is a prestigious university town with a rich tradition in audiological research. The conference aims to build upon this legacy by exploring the theme "Hearing: From Sound Waves to Cognition." This theme bridges fundamental signal theory research to subjective and objective audiological diagnostics, and extends into cognitive aspects of hearing processing and perception, reflecting the research focus on "Epidemiology and Nursing Research" at the over 500-year-old Faculty of Medicine of Martin Luther University.

Key Highlights

Our distinguished invited speakers from both within and outside Germany will deliver keynote presentations, covering current and relevant topics in interdisciplinary care for hearing impairments. We also encourage your active participation through oral presentations or poster sessions. Additionally, four tutorials will offer opportunities for specialized professional development on contemporary issues.

Engaging Activities

We hope that the discussions and activities during the conference will provide inspiration and insights for your work. Beyond the scientific program, Halle offers an incredibly diverse cultural scene, making it an ideal location for extending your stay.

Conference Organizers

We look forward to your presence in Halle, the birthplace of Handel, and invite you to explore its vibrant culture. Please join us in contributing to the advancement of audiological science and practice.

• Prof. Dr. Torsten Rahne - Conference President
