Abstract

The IHTA at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, opens its doors for a laboratory tour. It was founded in 1963 under the name ITA. The current directors of the institute are Michael Vorländer (since 1996) and Janina Fels (since 2012). In 2021, the institute was renamed the “Institute of Hearing Technology and Acoustics - IHTA” due to its expanded involvement in interdisciplinary networks, with a focus on hearing research. Since 1963, generations of students of electrical engineering and information technology as well as physicists and mechanical engineers have been trained in graduate courses. Anechoic chambers, virtual reality labs, and other labs focusing on measurement and perception research are presented.
