The goal of Fraunhofer IDMT's Oldenburg Branch for Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology HSA is to implement scientific findings on auditory perception of normal and impaired hearing in technological applications. Scientists carry out applied research and development on behalf of industrial companies and public institutions in the fields of telecommunications, multimedia, health and care services, smart homes and smart cities, automotive, civil security and industrial production.

The Oldenburg Branch was established in Oldenburg in 2008 under the direction of Prof. Dr. Dr. Birger Kollmeier and Dr. Jens-E. Appell as a project group of the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT. Through scientific cooperations, it has close links with the hearing research facilities in Oldenburg and is also a partner in the cluster of excellence »Hearing4all«.
