Dear Colleagues,
Dear guests,

We cordially invite you to a 21st Annual Meeting of the German Society of Audiology (DGA) in the time-honored university town of Halle (Saale). At the conference, we build on the long tradition in audiological hall. The theme of the conference "Listen: the sound wave to the cognition" provides a bridge from the signal theory basic research on the subjective and objective audiological diagnostics to cognitive aspects of auditory processing and perception, which is also the research focus "Epidemiology and nursing research" of more than 500 reflect year-old University School of Medicine.

With invited speakers from home and abroad for the plenary lectures and the choice of subject for the structured meetings we hope to set date and relevant priorities in the context of the interdisciplinary treatment of deafness, of which pulses are to go out for your work. We encourage and ask you also to take part even with an active contribution as oral or poster presentation. Four tutorials with an offer on topical issues provide an opportunity for individual professional development.

We are looking forward to your visit to the Handel City Halle (Saale) that invites you through their extremely rich culture, perhaps to extend your stay by a few days.

Prof. Dr. Torsten Rahne
Congress President
