HSLU develops hearing training programs
A research group at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts is developing auditory training approaches that activate and maintain hearing ability in old age.
The methodological developments, which are co-funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, are being implemented in collaboration with nursing homes in Kriens. According to a statement from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU), the nursing homes already offer music-based activities and are open to new experiments, which is a stroke of luck for the project. Singing and making music together are already part of everyday life at the nursing homes. The project wanted to go a step further: to bring people into contact with each other through creative, acoustic moments.
The tried-and-tested offerings were expressly aimed at all interested residents, regardless of their previous musical experience and their reasons for living in the Kriens homes.
