Hearing wellhrak-alle_klein_copy.jpg
is the basis of communication between people.

It is an essential precondition for a person’s well-being and contentedness. Hearing as a basis of communication is more than just the perception of acoustic signals, because someone who hears sounds cannot necessarily process them in a meaningful and correct way.

Therefore, hearing and understanding go together.
 
The process of both hearing and understanding is multidimensional and very complex. To help people with hearing impairments effectively, a detailed understanding of the hearing process is absolutely necessary.

Good knowledge of acoustics, medicine and psychology as well as of modern electronic speech signal processing technology is a requirement.
