The development of Audiology in Germany as a scientific discipline started in the 19^th century. An important milestone was the publication by the German physicist and physician Hermann von Helmholtz entitled "On the sensations of tone as a physiological basis for the theory of music" in 1863. Today, the scientific Audiology is represented by the German Audiological Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Audiologie, DGA).
