Oldenburg is well positioned when it comes to early-career researchers in the field of audiology. At this year’s 19th Annual Conference of the German Society for Audiology (DGA), which took place in Hanover from 9 to 12 March, two early-career researchers from Oldenburg were honoured.

Dirk Oetting, a researcher in the Fraunhofer Project Group for Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology, received the DGA Early-Career Researcher Award, worth €500, which is presented for the best presentation during the Junior Symposium.

Laura Hartog, a bachelor’s student at Jade University of Applied Sciences and a member of the iHeaD Group in Medical Physics at the University of Oldenburg, won first prize in the poster competition, worth €300, with her poster on ‘The influence of binaural noise reduction on the perception of movement in people with normal and impaired hearing in complex listening environments’.
