Spaß an der Kommunikation! – Über Höranstrengung, Hörstress und günstige Voraussetzungen des Hörens

In the organizer's words:

Many people with hearing loss experience communication as stressful and tiring, especially if the environment is noisy and hearing is challenging, e.g. if there are several people speaking or if the room acoustics are unfavorable.

In addition, there are prejudices and gaps in the knowledge of people who are not affected by hearing loss. However, many people with hearing loss suffer from hearing strain and "hearing stress" anyway if they are under a lot of strain in their everyday hearing life.

Prof. Dr. Karolin Schäfer (University of Duisburg-Essen) talks about favorable and unfavorable hearing conditions, about prejudices and how to deal with them if you are affected by a hearing impairment.

In cooperation with the Deutscher Schwerhörigenbund Köln e.V.
