„The ear is the way to the heart“– Voltaire’s famous words decorate the entrance area of the Campus Hearing Acoustics. When Daniel Denecke, audio therapist and singer-songwriter with a hearing-impairment, first visited the campus ten years ago, this quote gave him the inspiration for a song: „From Ear to Heart“. On 21 October 2021, Denecke once again visited the campus, this time the Hearing Device Museum, one of the biggest collections of historical hearing aids and audiological technique in Germany, from where he broadcasted live to a classroom in Lower Saxony.
