This year’s Virtual Conference on Computational Audiology, VCCA2024 will take place on the 20th and 21st June.
The 2024 conference will be chaired by Simone Graetzer (University of Salford) with co-chairs Trevor Cox (also Salford), Jon Barker (University of Sheffield), and Jan-Willem Wasmann (Radboud University Medical Center). The chair of the Scientific Committee is Volker Hohmann (University of Oldenburg).
The two main themes are AI and hearing and the changing landscape of Audiology. Our keynote speakers will include Manohar Bance (University of Cambridge) and Lars Bramsløw (Eriksholm Research Centre). The topics span a broad range, including the latest developments in hearing devices and AI technology for hearing and audiology, modeling hearing loss, field-related measurement and validation, cognitive and neuro-audiology, cochlear, brainstem, and vestibular implants, post-implant rehabilitation and accessibility and inclusive design in hearing and audiology.
VCCA2024 will build on previous conferences to provide an interactive platform for the presentation and discussion of the latest research in Computational Audiology. Key areas of exploration will include the application of computational approaches to audiological interventions and hearing science, AI in audiology and hearing healthcare, auditory neuroscience, and acoustics to facilitate hearing. The program will feature submitted talks, special sessions, and keynote presentations.
