What is aural diversity?

The concept of aural diversity upholds that hearing differences do not occur along a binary spectrum from “normal” to “impaired,” but instead are a broad spectrum of listening and hearing types. Aurally-diverse thinking has begun to influence many disciplines, improving accessibility for aurally-diverse people.

Who can apply to present?

We welcome presenters at all career stages. As an emerging field, aural diversity needs greater awareness, and we aim to highlight voices exploring its many dimensions.
