Programme for the EUHA Congress

Apart from current topics such as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on hearing health, tinnitus and listening effort, a series of lectures centring on public health politics will be debuted on Thursday, with the telematics infrastructure in the German health care system being one of the subjects dealt with. On Friday, an ENT specialist and a lawyer will be discussing cochlear implants, highlighting the question of “Patient or clinic – who is the operator of a cochlear implant?” and focusing on the hearing aid acoustician’s role. The multifaceted topic of earmoulds and acoustic coupling of hearing systems will be looked at from different perspectives. New findings in microphone technology, language intelligibility, and essential new service sectors for hearing aid acousticians will also play a role, as will the provision of CI and bone conduction devices.
