Insights into Oldenburg hearing research for interested parties on 8 July on the Wechloy campus
Oldenburg. To mark its tenth anniversary, the Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics at the University of Oldenburg is opening its laboratory doors: on Friday, 8 July, between 4.00 and 6.00 pm , interested parties can take a tour to gain an insight into ongoing research work for the hearing aids of the future - for example on hearing acoustics, sound perception, audio signal processing or human-machine interfaces. As the number of participants is limited, please register by 6 July (with your name and number of people) by emailing .
At various stations in two university buildings on the Wechloy campus (Building W30, "NeSSy", Küpkersweg 74, and Building W02, Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße 11), interested parties can have facets of Oldenburg hearing research explained to them. They can gain an insight into the university's anechoic chamber, in which large sound-absorbing wedges ensure that acoustic experiments can be carried out under optimal conditions. The acoustic virtual reality laboratory is similarly designed, allowing any everyday scene to be recreated with a high level of acoustic detail and video projection. In the neighbouring "Gesture Lab", researchers analyse how people move in such environments and express their listening interests, often unconsciously, through gestures. They are conducting basic research for future hearing aids.
Other acoustically interesting laboratory environments and special research methods complete the tour: from the laboratory with variable acoustics to the reconstructed living room including a digital twin and a free hearing test. The Department team also provides information for people with hearing problems who would like to take part in scientific studies at the Oldenburg Hearing Centre as test subjects.
The tour is also particularly exciting for prospective students, says Department Director Prof Dr Simon Doclo. "Whether it's the 'Physics-Technology-Medicine', 'Hearing Technology and Audiology' or 'Engineering Physics' degree programme - our graduates have excellent career prospects."
