About

The International Symposium on Auditory and Audiological Research (ISAAR) brings scientific communities together to encourage cross-disciplinary discussion on auditory research and audiology. Topics include physiological concepts, perceptual measures and models, electrophysiology and neuroscience approaches, and their implications for hearing devices and new technical applications.

Each symposium focuses on a few main themes. We also welcome contributions from across auditory and audiological research, such as perceptual and physiological measures of auditory function, measures of hearing loss, auditory modelling, hearing-instrument signal processing, aided outcome measures, multisensory speech perception, communication in complex environments, advances in neurotechnology, and cognitive auditory neuroscience. The programme has a single-stream podium session with both invited and contributed talks, plus poster sessions.

Since 2021, the conference proceedings have included the abstracts of all contributions. From 1969 to 2019, the proceedings were instead full manuscripts from a selection of contributions, and these are available in the Archives. Authors from 2021 onward who want to publish a written account of their work are encouraged to submit to our special issue series in Trends in Hearing. Past ISAAR special issues are listed on our Special Issues page.

History

ISAAR, the International Symposium on Auditory and Audiological Research (formerly the Danavox Symposium), is held every two years in August. It is organised by the Hearing Systems Section at DTU and supported by the William Demant Foundation.
