Dear all, This is an advance notice
for the 17th International
Symposium on Hearing –
ISH2015 The 17th ISH will
be held at the
Familiehotel in Paterswolde, near Groningen, from the Monday 15
June to Friday
19 June 2015. The title of this edition
is: Physiology, Psychoacoustics and
Cognition Below is a non-restrictive
list of topics
we are aiming to particularly emphasize in this edition: Topic 1: Imaging and
physiology of normal
and impaired hearing: hearing loss, hyperacusis and tinnitus. Topic 2: New rehabilitation
techniques:
genetics and neuro-regeneration. Topic 3: Auditory implants:
electrical
stimulation and electrical activity. Topic 4: Auditory scene
analysis with
normal and impaired cues. Topic 5: Speech
communication with hearing
impairment. Topic 6: Peripheral and
cognitive effects
of ageing. ISH is a small collegiate
meeting typically
held in a cloistered setting. The program is limited to 50
podium presentations
of about 20 min. There are no parallel sessions, and
participants are expected
to attend the majority of the session throughout the week. Each
presenter also
writes a paper, which will form a chapter of the proceedings
published by
Springer. The total number of
participants, including
podium speakers, is limited to 100 people. Presentations will be
selected by
the organizing committee on the basis of scientific excellence
and topic. Due
to the restricted number of participants, we can only
accommodate a limited
number of authors for each accepted paper to attend the
conference. Accommodation will be
available in shared
double occupancy rooms at the Familiehotel. Single occupancy
rooms will be
available at a premium at the Hampshire Plaza Groningen hotel,
located less
than 5 km from the Familiehotel (a 15 min bike ride).
Participants wishing to
bring their partners or family may do so, but due to catering
limitations, the
total number of accompanying attendees is restricted to 10.
Childcare options
will be available. Prospective participants wanting to make use
