In her talk at the Meta Marathon 2019, Beate Ochsner will discuss the latest trends in the field of technified hearing, the so-called smart hearables. The focus will be on the question to what extent hearing aids, which are becoming lifestyle objects, dissolve the boundary between assistive technology and digital everyday assistants, promise individual power to act and participate, and at the same time introduce new forms of standardized hearing.
Meta Marathon 2019 takes place at the NRW Forum in Düsseldorf, 15-17 March 2019.
