The foundation

People complain about noise (almost) regardless of the A-weighted sound pressure level. Predicting the effects of environmental noise requires detailed knowledge of signal processing in the auditory system. Increasing standardization provides a foundation for the expanded use of psychoacoustics for environmental noise assessment.

This has led to the consideration of establishing a foundation to provide funding to support research and activities aimed at providing a better, more pleasant acoustic environment.

Another focus is the development and promotion of new approaches in the field of pain therapy. Despite all the progress made in the treatment of acute pain, the number of people suffering from chronic pain continues to rise – more than in other diagnostic groups.

The HEAD-Genuit-Foundation has set itself the task of supporting people suffering from pain even when knowledge of the development, maintenance and treatment of their complaints is inadequate and the current prospects of alleviating them are poor.

It must fulfill the will of the founder as effectively as possible within the framework of the Foundation Act and the statutes.

As an independent supervisory body, the Board of Trustees monitors the Executive Board’s compliance with the founder’s wishes. In particular, the Board of Trustees is responsible for appointing and dismissing members of the Management Board, confirming the annual financial statements and approving the actions of the Management Board.
