Innovation in hearing acoustics: Lecture on modern hearing aids on May 6th!
Hörsaal AM4, Universität zu Lübeck, 23562 Lübeck, Deutschland - On May 6, 2025, Dr. Hendrik Hussedt keep his inaugural lecture at the University of Lübeck. The event takes place at 5:00 p.m. in the lecture hall AM4 and is entitled "Between testing and research in hearing acoustics".
The relevance of human hearing is undisputed because it is of central importance for the perception of a variety of noises and for acoustic communication in everyday life. Loss of hearing, on the other hand, can cause immense restrictions for those affected and their relatives. All the more important are new technologies, in particular highly developed air management hearing aids that can enable an improvement in the quality of life.meaning of modern hearing systems
Air pipe hearing aids work by absorbing, reinforcing and reproducing ambient noises. Advanced signal processing methods are used for disruptive noise suppression and the automatic detection of hearing situations. Dr. In his lecture, Husstedt will explain how these devices work in more detail and go into how medical products should develop such technologies in order to actually offer users added value.
Another important aspect is the coverage of costs by statutory health insurance companies, which often depends on the benefits in relation to possible deficits. For this reason, a comparison of the functional scope is necessary to ensure an individual selection of the devices for users. In addition, the need for quality assurance and transparency is emphasized, since a comprehensive testing of the functional features of modern hearing aids is of great importance.
research on hearing aid technologies
In addition to the practical applications, Dr. Hussedt provide insights into relevant research results that examine the effectiveness of hearing aids. A study has shown that monetary understanding with hearing aids, especially in patients with a high degree of hearing loss, is often below the maximum monitoring of monosyllabicism. In this research, data of 93 ears of 64 patients were analyzed, with it determined that more than 67% of the hearing aid settings did not meet the target curves. This is an indication that there is a significant need for improvement in the adaptation of hearing aids
The determination of the hearing aid adjustment is associated with challenges, since a rein ton audiogram alone does not allow sufficient conclusions to be drawn about language understanding with hearing aids. The decisive factor for the success of a hearing aid supply is whether the individual adjustments meet the user needs. The examination of epidemiological data has also shown that there are significant differences in the supply rates depending on the criteria used for the prevalence of hearing loss. Especially when examining language comprehension in the disturbance noise, younger patrons often show a higher percentage loss of hearing for language compared to tones. These findings support the demand for a more precise indication of criteria to collect the prevalence of hearing disorders states . epidemiological data and supply rates
The inaugural lecture by Dr. Husstedt on May 6th will be an important step towards clarifying the challenges and progress in hearing acoustics, and it remains to be seen which new perspectives this event will open.
