But the Hanover region is not only a nucleus of musical innovations: it is considered the capital of choirs, is home to the Scorpions and is the headquarters of globally important companies in the areas of sound and acoustics. A tour to historic and lively music venues - with stops and anecdotes, in style in a vintage bus from 1964.

The ENT Clinic of the Hannover Medical School and the DHZ are internationally known for the world's largest cochlear implant (CI) program with more than 10,000 CI patients since the first implantation and around 600 new CI patients annually.

Under one roof, the DHZ offers the latest diagnostic methods and therapies, comprehensive technical advice and support, educational and speech therapy hearing training as well as the provision of hearing systems at the highest international level. From conventional hearing aids to implantable hearing aids (middle ear implants) or inner ear implants such as the CI to central auditory implants, the DHZ offers help with all hearing disorders.

The hearing systems are being further developed in close collaboration with industry. In addition to the routine care of cochlear implant patients, individual research projects are presented by the research groups. You can see a real-time CI simulator with which signal processing strategies of CI systems can be made audible.

Furthermore, there are insights into objective measurement methods (EEG) to represent the hearing process with the aim of adapting hearing systems using the closed-loop method in the future. Developments on virtual acoustic scenarios will also be shown.
