#EUHA2026: Friday is AI Day!
EUHA Congress launches new focus format on practical artificial intelligence for hearing care practices
Friday at the 70th EUHA Congress will be AI Day. Under the motto “AI that pays off tomorrow”, the new focus format demonstrates how hearing care practices can integrate artificial intelligence into their day-to-day work in a practical way.
Hardly any other topic is currently transforming the world of work as much as artificial intelligence. At the same time, many hearing care practices are wondering how this technology can be put to practical and meaningful use in their day-to-day work. This is exactly where the AI Day comes in. Rather than abstract visions of the future, the focus is on practical applications that are easy to understand without any prior technical knowledge and can be implemented in the workplace as early as the next working day. The focus is on solutions that make everyday life easier, streamline processes and noticeably reduce the workload on teams.
The topic is highly relevant: many businesses are facing growing demands. Bureaucracy and documentation are on the rise, marketing activities are becoming more complex and time-consuming, whilst the shortage of skilled workers remains a key challenge. Artificial Intelligence offers concrete solutions here, for example in the automation of routine tasks, support with communication and marketing, or the more efficient use of knowledge within the company.
AI Day is also aimed at participants with no prior technical knowledge. It offers guidance, reassurance and an accessible introduction to a topic that is becoming increasingly important for the future of the industry. Participants will benefit from concrete examples, ideas they can put into practice straight away, and a clear understanding of where AI can create real added value in day-to-day business operations.
The combination of a stage programme, workshops, live sessions and the integration of the industry exhibition creates a comprehensive, integrated experience with significant practical benefits. AI Day turns the Friday of the congress into an event in its own right and demonstrates how the EUHA Congress links current, forward-looking topics with direct benefits for the hearing aid industry.
With this new format, the 70th EUHA Congress sends a clear message: artificial intelligence is not an abstract topic, but a practical tool that can make a measurable difference in day-to-day business operations.
New: For the first time, the International Hyperacusis and Misophonia Conference will take place as part of the EUHA Congress. The aim is to build a bridge between audiological, psychological and neuroscientific research on sound sensitivity. Further information is available at: https://ichm8.org/
