The conference will bring together deaf musicians and music lovers, hearing aid users, audiologists, researchers and hearing aid manufacturers from across the globe. They will share their knowledge and experiences, discuss current and emerging technologies benefiting music listening and performance, and share recent research findings through a mixture of presentations and workshops. We will also be sharing the outcomes of the HAFM project.

There will also be performances by musicians with hearing impairments to provide further scope for discussion and engagement. We are delighted to be welcoming the 4ORTE ensemble (http://www.matd.org.uk/) which is a unique group of professional musicians who are deaf, and who are committed to promoting expectations for deaf people?s engagement and achievements in music, and raising awareness of the issues surrounding music and deafness.
