The AG Hörsensible Universität Oldenburg will be showing various short films on the subject of hearing and understanding on Thursday, 20 January 2011 in the Kommunikationsakustik-Simualtor in The Haus des Hörens. The free event starts at 8.00 pm. More information

The main objective of the Hearing-Sensitive University of Oldenburg is to optimise the quality of study and working conditions for all students and staff at the C.v.O. University of Oldenburg. The acoustic conditions are analysed and suggestions for improvements are made. One result of these activities is two barrier-free group study rooms in the university library, which have been available since April 2010.

A further aim of the working group is to pool Oldenburg's expertise from the fields of science and practice on the subject of "hearing/hearing impairment" and to develop visions of how a hearing-sensitive university can be designed for people with and without hearing impairments.
