June 2025: First Meeting of the HEARAZ Industry Advisory Board
Directly following this year’s Hearing Instrument Developers Forum in Oldenburg, the first meeting of the HEARAZ Industry Advisory Board took place. Participants included representatives from the graduate college as well as from various hearing aid companies. The main focus was on introducing HEARAZ, exploring shared interests, and identifying potential opportunities for collaboration. As part of the meeting, three doctoral researchers from the college presented their projects and received direct feedback from industry professionals.
The meeting provided valuable insights for both sides, and a follow-up is already planned for November of this year.
