Hearing Acoustics and Audiological Technology (M.Sc.)
Standard period of study: 4 semesters
Start: Winter semester
Type of admission: Degree program with admission requirements
Hearing Acoustics is aimed at anyone who shares a fascination for hearing and the processing of audio signals. It provides the ideal prerequisites for developing and researching systems for processing audio signals, in particular hearing aids. Together, the University of Lübeck and the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences offer exciting modules in the fields of computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), medicine, psychology, signal processing, measurement technology and psychoacoustics. Thanks to the collaboration with the Lübeck University of Music, students can also specialize in acoustics and sound engineering.
After graduating, graduates have comprehensive knowledge of hearing science and hearing technology as well as the latest findings on auditory perception and signal processing. They understand the principles of auditory processing, the mathematical modeling of the hearing process and algorithmic methods of signal processing. They are also familiar with modern medical imaging technologies and can use modern hearing aids. With these skills, they can make a scientifically sound contribution to audiological care and promote the further development of hearing acoustics and audiological technology.
Good reasons for studying hearing acoustics and audiological technology in Lübeck
Audiology, technology, psychology
Inter-institutional cooperation
Practice projects
Proximity to industry
Opinions of students
Lübeck is a stronghold of hearing acoustics and all contacts are therefore close by. It therefore made sense for me to do my Master's degree in this city after my Bachelor's degree.
Hannes Wittmann, Hearing acoustics and audiological technology
The Lübeck campus with its technical college, university, hearing academy, the German Hearing Aid Institute and university hospital forms a unique cluster where all aspects of hearing can be researched.
No, even if the focus is of course on this area, you will still acquire many basic skills which are of course also needed in other areas. Thanks to the solid basic training in mathematics, programming and signal processing, technical work outside of hearing acoustics or biomedicine is also possible.
Hearing aid acoustician is a demanding profession that has long been needed in other sectors, for example in the hearing aid and cochlear implant industry, in building and room acoustics or in the automotive industry. That's why we don't just teach you the scientific basics, medical science and technology in six semesters at the TH Lübeck. You will also actively research practical solutions for your future working life.
