Registration now open for hybrid Aural Diversity Conference 2026

Register for your place today.

This conference is organized by PhD student researchers at the University of Salford, supported by the Leverhulme Trust Aural Diversity Doctoral Research Hub (LAURA).

The aural diversity movement springs from the observation that the many differences in hearing/listening might be better represented by a concept of a diverse range of hearing types instead of a binary normal/impaired model.

This aural diversity conference is intended to be a friendly, single-track conference for people working in aural diversity from any disciplinary background. Contributions come from areas including acoustics, architecture, art, audiology, design, education, hearing science, music, psychology, sociology, soundscape, and more.

The event will be hybrid and live captioning will be available throughout. There is no fee to participate or attend. Lunch and refreshments will be provided for those coming in person.

Register for your free place here. Please include any accessibility needs when registering.
