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.
