The workshop will be a full day event with two keynote speakers and a mix of oral and poster presentations. The event is an official ISCA Interspeech Satellite workshop but is open to all (Interspeech registration is not required.) *To register *visit, http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/ chat2017/#registrationPage *Keynote talks:* Prof Volker Hohmann, Universit=C3=A4t Oldenburg, "Space-aware hearing devic= es - Making hearing aids smarter" Prof Enrique A. Lopez-Poveda, University of Salamanca, "Better hearing in noise with binaural prostheses inspired by the contralateral medial olivocochlear reflex" *Oral presentations:* Denk et al. "The Acoustically Transparent Hearing Device: Towards Integration of Individualized Sound Equalization, Electro-Acoustic Modeling and Feedback Cancellation." G=C3=B6=C3=9Fling, Marquardt and Doclo.
