描述（申请人提供）：2004年国际助听器研究会议（IHCON）将是两年一次的研究会议的第三次会议，该会议是由前两次助听器研究会议--箭头湖会议，高级助听器研究问题，1990-1998年由House Ear Institute（HEI）和助听器研究与开发会议共同赞助，1995年至1997年，由国家耳聋和其他交流障碍研究所（NIDCD）和退伍军人事务部（DVA）每两年赞助一次。2002年IHCON和以前的会议的目的是通过交流与助听器治疗听力障碍有关的最新研究成果和技术进步，促进我们的知识和促进研究与开发的进展。会议的一个特点是他们能够汇集对助听器研究进步至关重要的学科和专业。2004年IHCON的主要目标是在以前会议的基础上，提供一个多学科的研究会议，更好地满足助听器研究和开发领域的需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2004 International Hearing Aid Research Conference (IHCON) will be the third meeting of a biennial research conference formed by combination of two previous hearing aid research conferences, the Lake Arrowhead Conference, Issues in Advanced Hearing Aid Research, sponsored biennially by House Ear Institute (HEI) from 1990-1998 and the Hearing Aid Research and Development Conference co-sponsored biennially by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) and the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) from 1995-1997. The purpose of 2002 IHCON and the previous conferences has been to advance our knowledge and to facilitate progress in research and development through the exchange of current research findings and technical advancements related to the treatment of hearing impairment with hearing aids. A hallmark of the conferences has been their ability to draw together the disciplines and specialties essential to the advancement of hearing aid research. A primary goal of the 2004 IHCON is to build upon the strengths of the previous conferences to offer a multidisciplinary research conference that will better meet the needs of the hearing aid research and development field.
