2019 NHCA Annual Conference

The HearTomorrow‚ Audio of Hearing Workshop‚ will explore hearing physiology, disorders and conservation in the context of audio systems theory.   Attendees will gain not only a new perspective on the hearing mechanism, but also an understanding of audio systems. The ear IS and audio system and we use modern audio technology in the development of hearing assist and conservation products. The language and mindset of each informs the other.  The workshop will cover the following topics pertinent to these areas: microphones & loudspeakers, analog and digital signals, conversion and circuits, and signal processing in the spectral and dynamic domains.  Wherever possible, audio principles will be explained using the language and theories of hearing physiology, psychoacoustics and cognition.
