The next meeting of the AES Melbourne Section will be on Monday 8th August at 7:30pm at:
The SAE Institute Lecture Theatre, 235 Normanby Rd, South Melbourne.
The meeting will commence with our Annual General Meeting involving the presentation of Chairman’s and Treasurer’s reports, and the Committee election.
It is expected to last 15 – 20 mins and non-members are welcome to sit in, but arrival at 7:45 will allow you to avoid most of it.
The short AGM will be followed by the second of two presentations by Prof. Peter Blamey on the topic:
IHearYou® – A Modern Tele-audiology System
Prof Blamey will describe the Australian developed tele-audiology system IHearYou® that enables people to take control of their own hearing. This talk will describe the science behind it, how it works, and the benefits that it is bringing to individual listeners and the Australian economy.
The previous talk described technologies for hearing and listening and covered the underlying technologies that have driven the evolution of hearing and listening aids, the benefits they bring to users of hearing aids – and how they affect the listening experience. Please refer to the website for further details of this presentation.
