About this audio guide
This guide to the AUDIOVERSUM ScienceCenter in Innsbruck follows the trail from a Vienna operating theatre in nineteen seventy-seven to a former cinema on Wilhelm-Greil-Strasse, where a hearing-implant executive named Eckhard Schulz opened a museum built entirely around listening. It touches on the Viennese engineers behind the first multichannel cochlear implant and the medical company they built just outside these walls. Along the way you will hunt an invisible bird by ear and ride a chair built to scramble your sense of balance.
