VCCA2026 – Poster Gallery
| Welcome to the VCCA 2026 Poster Gallery. This page brings together all poster contributions presented at the 7th Virtual Conference on Computational Audiology (VCCA 2026). The posters are organised by conference session and include links to the abstract, poster PDF, and 3-minute Poster Blitz presentation submitted by the authors. The Poster Blitz format was introduced to provide attendees with a concise overview of each study and to facilitate scientific exchange beyond the conference sessions themselves. We encourage you to explore the contributions, watch the presentations, and learn about the exciting research being conducted across computational audiology, hearing science, auditory neuroscience, clinical audiology, machine learning, hearing technologies, and related disciplines. If a particular contribution is of interest to you, we warmly encourage you to contact the corresponding author directly using the email address provided. We hope these interactions will stimulate new discussions, collaborations, and opportunities to exchange ideas with researchers from around the world. On behalf of the VCCA 2026 Organising Committee, we thank all authors for sharing their work and helping make this conference a vibrant and collaborative scientific event. We hope you enjoy exploring the posters. | ||||
