Welcome to the HearCom project

This site is for anyone who is interested in issues related to hearing and communication - including members of the public as well as professionals who are already working with or who are interested in issues related to hearing.

The site contains information relevant to hearing screening, diagnosis and rehabilitation across Europe, and is being produced by the HearCom project, a European funded research project. For more information about the HearCom consortium, see the section About the Project.

Many sections of this site are currently under construction. Please explore the About the Project and Professional areas, and return to the Main Site in the future, when we have further developed the site.

Why is communication so important?

Communication is very important in all areas of life. It is important that new technology in society makes communication easier. For example, if we lose our hearing, we can sometimes struggle with things that we were able to do easily in the past. HearCom seeks to provide tools and solutions to improve communication for hard of hearing and deaf people, as well as second language users and people in noisy environments.
