Winter School "Hearing Acoustics" 2023

13.03.23 - 14.03.2023
University of Oldenburg, Germany

 

 

The Winter School on Hearing Acoustics: Models, Machine Learning, Applications, and Virtual Reality took place from 13.03.2023 – 14.03.2023 at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. It provided a great opportunity for Master and PhD students to broaden their understanding in several fields required in cutting-edge hearing research.

The Winter School gave also insights into the current research addressed in the collaborative research centre (CRC) Hearing acoustics (coordinator: Prof. Dr. Volker Hohmann) at the University of Oldenburg - School of Medicine and Health sciences – Dept. of Medical Physics and Acoustics dedicated to advance our understanding of auditory perception in complex acoustic environments (CAEs) and to improve acoustic communication in such difficult environments.

The PIs of the CRC, including renowned experts in the fields of

  • audio signal processing & machine learning (Bernd Meyer, Jörg Lücke, Jörn Anemüller, Simon Doclo, Steven van de Par, Volker Hohmann),
  • auditory modeling and psychoacoustics (Jan Rennies-Hochmuth, Kai Siedenburg, Stephan Ewert, Steven van de Par, Thomas Brand),
  • hearing aids and audiology (Anna Warzybok, Birger Kollmeier, Kirsten Wagener, Volker Hohmann), and
  • virtual acoustics (Bernhard Seeber, Mathias Blau, Michael Vorländer, Stephan Ewert),

have given tutorial talks closely related to their project within the CRC.

Accompanying  the tutorial talks, hands-on exercises were offered to gain experience with modern tools (e.g., auditory models, immersive hearing device, binaural localization algorithms, room acoustics software) that have been developed or applied within the CRC for creating, assessing and analyzing communication situation in virtual CAEs with and without hearing supportive algorithms/devices. 

The Winter School was also a great opportunity to meet with other students and to discuss the own research and ideas with leading experts. Since many aspects of hearing research were covered by this Winter School, Master and PhD students could try out different subjects, which may have given impulses for planning their next career steps.
