2006 and 2008 International Hearing Aid Research Conferences

描述（由申请人提供）：2006年和2008年国际助听器研究会议（IHCON）将是两年一次的研究会议的第五次和第七次会议，由前两次助听器研究会议组成，湖箭头会议，高级助听器研究问题，助听器研究与发展会议由美国国家耳聋和其他交流障碍研究所（NIDCD）和退伍军人事务部（DVA）于1995年至1997年共同主办，每两年一次。前几届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，提高我们的知识水平，促进研究和发展的进步。会议的一个标志是他们能够将学科和专业聚集在一起，这对助听器研究的进步至关重要。2006年和2008年国际助听器会议的主要目标是在前两届会议的基础上，提供一个多学科研究会议，以更好地满足助听器研究和开发领域的需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2006 and 2008 International Hearing Aid Research Conferences (IHCON) will be the fifth and seventh 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 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 2006 and 2008 IHCONs 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.
