VCCA2022 to Take Place June 30 and July 1st
HHTM
April 7, 2022

The 3rd Virtual Conference on Computational Audiology (VCCA2022) will take place from June 30th (afternoon) to July 1st, 2022.

VCCA2022 will provide a platform for presentation and discussion of research in Computational Audiology. The focus lies on the applications of computational approaches (big data, machine learning, AI, signal processing) to audiological interventions and hearing science (hearing loss, hearing devices).

VCCA2022 will be hosted by Hearing4all (University of Oldenburg and Hannover Medical School).

Abstract submission is now open (deadline: April 26th 2022)!

Information about the registration will be published soon.

Timeline

  • February 18th 2022: Abstract submission system opens
  • April 26th 2022: Abstract deadline
  • May 12th 2022: Decisions communicated (acceptance/rejection)
  • June 8th 2022: Deadline submission of video recordings and slides
  • June 30th 4pm-10pm / July 1st 8am-1pm: Conference

Internationally renowned scientists will present their proceedings in research on the multiple aspects of the application of computational approaches to audiological diagnostics, intervention, and rehabilitation.

As in the previous editions, we will organize a competition for young scientists for the best talk, and a competition for the best video pitches. We continue to strive to be the platform where young talents, innovators, clinicians, and seasoned experts share ideas, have opportunities to network, and get inspired.

The topics will include:

  • Big data and AI in audiology and hearing healthcare
  • Computational approaches to improving hearing devices and auditory implants
  • Data-based and model-based investigations into hearing loss
  • Hearing diagnostics and rehabilitation
  • e-Audiology and e-Research (remote hearing healthcare and virtual audiological care and interventions)

VCCA also announced a special session on predictive coding, organized by Bernhard Englitz, Emma Holmes and Floris de Lange, which will cover physiological, theoretical and cognitive aspects of predictive coding.

Mission (of computational audiology):

  • Improve hearing healthcare for hard-of-hearing people (>500 million people)
  • Improve efficacy of hearing devices and audiological interventions
  • Reduce the global burden of hearing loss with computational approaches

Target audience:

  • Hearing, Audiology, AI and Computational researchers all over the world
  • Especially young scientists are encouraged to take part
  • No participation fee
  • Several time zones
