#EUHA2026: The industry meets in Hanover – the countdown is on!

(Frankfurt am Main/Münster, 14 September 2026) In just a few weeks, the international hearing care industry will gather in Hanover: the 70th International Congress of Hearing Aid Acousticians and the accompanying Industry Exhibition will take place from 14 to 16 October 2026. With 29 expert lectures, five tutorials, 33 contributions from the International Conference on Hyperacusis and Misophonia (ICHM8), integrated into the event for the first time, 25 presentations at the EUHA Live Area and more than 140 international exhibitors, the event promises to be a special meeting point for the industry.

A particular focus will be the EUHA Live Area in Hall 6. Connecting the Congress and the Industry Exhibition, it provides a central meeting and networking space with a stage. Visitors can look forward to short, practical talks, presentations by international start-ups and information from universities and higher education institutions on audiology degree programmes. On Friday, the Live Area will be dedicated to artificial intelligence. Under the theme “AI that pays off tomorrow”, participants will gain practical ideas for day-to-day business. The programme is available at https://www.ausstellung-euha.org/en/program-2026/.

The Congress opening will take place on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, at 09:15 am at the EUHA Live Area in Hall 6. At 11:30 am, SPIEGEL bestselling author Dr Peter Kreuz will open the scientific programme in Room 3A in the Convention Center with “Rebel Mind: Hear the future. Shape change.” Visitors with exhibition-only tickets can also attend the opening lecture.

The Congress Get-together, the event’s main party, will start at 19:00 on Thursday, 15 October, at EXPO CORNER near the exhibition grounds. The theme “Orange is the New Sound” celebrates this year’s partner country, the Netherlands. Guests are welcome to reflect the theme in their outfits.
