Senses Day at the beginning of October 2022

The foundation invites all interested parties to the “Digital Week of the Senses 2022” from October 1st to October 8th, 2022. This action week is being offered for the first time in collaboration with the German Professional Association of Otorhinolaryngologists as well as the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.

The motto is: “Aging with all senses – how can this be achieved?”

Our program this year is digital, aiming to inform about tinnitus, increasing hearing loss, and various accompanying conditions in old age. We aim to provide encouragement and share practical insights on how affected individuals, caregivers, and friends can proactively counteract social exclusion and increasing hearing impairment.

Our offerings will be presented through our social media channels. Feel free to visit us on YouTube (DE), LinkedIn (DE), Facebook (DE), or Instagram (EN). You can find all contributions under the “Videos” section on our website.
