Eikholt Conference 2023, Vision and hearing for an active life.

Published March 8, 2023

Theme and target group

The Eikholt conference is organised in August each year with a different theme. This year, the theme was "Sight and hearing for an active everyday life". Below you will find presentations and recordings from the conference.

The target group for the conference was audiographers, audiopedagogues, opticians, visual educators, special educators or counsellors, either privately, in municipalities or in specialist health services.

Program

This year's theme was also chosen because we launched the Eikholt test at the conference. This is an audiovisual test of speech comprehension that gives professionals a good tool for mapping functional vision and hearing ability. This is an innovation we are excited to share with you. The founder himself, Rolf Mjønes, gave an insight into the background of why the test was developed and the opportunities the Eikholt test provides for professionals and users.
