This sixth edition of VCCA welcomed 946 registered participants from 67 countries and 342 cities, turning our virtual Miami Beach into a truly global meeting place.
During this 30‑minute coffee break, each breakout room nominates one hearing-health charity or project. CAN pledges USD 25 per breakout room to the nominated causes. That means by simply joining this informal chat session, you’ll donate USD 3 to a good cause! Doing good has never been so easy ;-)
VCCA2025 registration is now open, our final keynote has been announced, we’re calling for survey participants and future conference organizers, and a new community-driven preprint on data standards is out now.
In this newsletter, we share more VCCA 2025 developments. Good news—the abstract submission deadline has been extended to May 1st! In addition, please fill out this latest survey on the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) among Audio-Speech Professionals regarding Artificial Intelligence! Please note that the Audiology Pre-Conference Symposium at VCCA2025 will now take place on Saturday, June 21, 2025.
A presentation with breakout rooms to discuss the peer review process for manuscripts.
This panel will critically discuss the key factors influencing music appreciation for those with and without hearing loss
A panel discussion considering whether we can treat hearing loss better by considering the benefit of seeing a talker
With increasing scientific knowledge and improving technologies it is possible to design enjoyable and reliable tests and training tools for hearing device users
This workshop aims to briefly explore the use of Wikipedia and Wikidata to disseminate scientifically grounded information through an interactive Edit-a-Thon focused on hearing health and audiology-related topics
A discussion of the future development of Artificial Intelligence for enhancing music listening for people with hearing loss
This talk will be on potentials and challenges in future hearing aid technology, including application of artificial intelligence
How the World Health Organization (WHO) is supporting countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia in improving access to hearing assistive technology
An online workshop designed to equip participants with the essential skills for sharing code and collaborating efficiently using GitHub. Open to beginners and experienced developers.
How can audiology services maximise hearing assessment in individuals with intellectual disabilities?.
We use Bayesian modeling to connect audiology tests such as speech in noise (SPIN) and not only predict missing data, but also reason about the quality of our models.
Spatial processing disorder, a long-term consequence of otitis media early in life, is an extremely common cause of speech in noise deficits that occur despite hearing thresholds being normal.
Listeners with normal hearing can deploy spatial attention to improve speech intelligibility in spatialised settings, but this ability is affected by hearing loss, and likely contributes to difficulties listening in noisy environments.
The special session aims to assess the state-of-the-art of data standards available in audiology, and to discuss its potential, challenges, and required steps towards successful standardization. In the featured talk, we will introduce the openEHR approach, and discuss input from the VCCA community (collected by a survey conducted before). In a panel discussion, we will have different experts from audiology, data science/artificial intelligence, and database infrastructure perspective.
This talk explains why very audiologist can and should screen for cochlear implant candidacy.
In this talk, Professor Andrew Hugill introduces the concept of Aural Diversity and discusses the scope of the field.
Did you know that when Phileas Fogg traveled by train from San Francisco to Salt Lake City, he passed very close (<20 miles) to Lake Tahoe?
The VCCA 2023 organising committee ACED the conference this year! Action-packed, Comprehensive, Efficient and Diverse.
Dear attendees, We are incredibly grateful for your participation in the Virtual Conference on Computational Audiology 2023 (VCCA2023). We look back at a memorable event, due in large part to…
A journey around the world of AI and Audiology within 80 slides!
Written by Jan-Willem Wasmann, using Jenni AI and Grammarly. - I couldn't find a way to create a more modest tone ;-). Afterwards, I ran it typing Mind (that uses…
How might people with hearing loss (patients) or clinicians (Audiologist and ENT-specialist) in hearing healthcare use ChatGPT or other AI Chatbots?
We used ChatGPT a AI system that can help writing text and code or answer questions but that cannot take responsibility in a way a human writer can do.
In this edition, we will be covering a variety of topics, including the Peer Recommender Challenge.

With five keynote talks, four special sessions, and over 500 registered participants, the VCCA keeps growing.
n this episode, Brent Edwards from NAL and Stefan Launer from Sonova take us through their careers and share lessons and perspectives on the development of hearing technology. We discuss how the development of technology becomes more holistic, design thinking, standardization, and what's needed to get to new service models and innovation.
Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) for the deaf and communication on equal terms regardless of hearing status. Episode 2 with Dimitri Kanevsky, Jessica Monaghan and Nicky Chong-White. Moderator Jan-Willem Wasmann You…
Active Learning in the auditory domain A round table with Bert de Vries, Josef Schlittenlacher and Dennis Barbour. Moderator Jan-Willem Wasmann Audio version: Audiovisual version on Youtube: Josef Schlittenlacher is…
This post covers the VCCA discussions on hearing devices of the future, and hearing diagnostics and services of the future. Both specifically discussed solutions and ideas for low-income countries.
