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)将是两年一度的研究会议的第五次和第七次会议，该会议由之前的两次助听器研究会议组成，湖箭头会议，高级助听器研究的问题，1990-1998年由内耳研究所(HEI)每两年主办一次，助听器研究和开发会议(由国家耳聋和其他沟通障碍研究所(NIDCD)和退伍军人事务部(DVA)在1995-1997年每两年共同赞助一次。前几届会议的目的是通过交流目前与助听器治疗听力障碍有关的研究成果和技术进步，增进我们的知识，促进研究和开发方面的进步。这些会议的一个标志是它们有能力将助听器研究的关键学科和专业聚集在一起。2006年和2008年国际助听器会议的一个主要目标是在前几届会议优势的基础上，举办一次更好地满足助听器研发领域需求的多学科研究会议。

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.
