Aural Diversity Workshop 2 (online)

Aural Diversity arises from the observation that everybody hears differently. The assumption that we all possess a standard, undifferentiated pair of ears underpins most listening scenarios. But this is demonstrably incorrect. We may well ask: whose ears are standard? whose ear has primacy?The Aural Diversity project investigates the consequences of hearing differences in areas such as: music and performance, soundscape and sound studies, hearing sciences and acoustics, hearing care and hearing technologies, audio engineering and design, creative computing and AI, and indeed any field that has hearing or listening as a major component.

But our world is built on an assumption that everybody has the ears of a healthy 18-year old (BSISO226:2003; Sterne 2012). In fact, our hearing changes all the time. We experience varying amounts of hearing loss as we age (presbyacusis). Millions of people suffer from a range of more severe hearing losses related to conditions, disorders, traumas and shocks. And differences in hearing need not necessarily mean loss. Increased sound sensitivity (hyperacusis), aversion to sounds (misophonia), and tinnitus are experienced by many. The Aural Diversity network seeks to address this complex picture by researching differences in hearing and listening, bringing together scholars and practitioners working across a broad range of disciplines such as music and performance arts, sound studies and soundscape, sound environment design, acoustics and noise studies, transport, and speech.
