New: Future Friday at the EUHA Congress!

(Mainz/Frankfurt, 26 June 2019) "Save the date for Future Friday!” The 64th International Congress of Hearing Aid Acousticians has a special highlight to offer this year: "Future Friday” – a day exclusively dedicated to forward-looking topics focussing on hearing aid technology. The European Union of Hearing Aid Acousticians (EUHA) and the German Hearing Aid Industry Association (BVHI) will be presenting free information on innovative issues, trends, and future developments. Trade fair visitors and conference delegates will have a chance to participate in these events on Friday, 18 October 2019, running at the same time as the Congress lecture programme.

A number of exhibitors will be offering fast-track presentations at their stands in the trade exhibition during the morning, featuring, for instance, subjects such as latest-generation energy cell technology, eAudiology, bone-conduction hearing systems, or modern sensor technology.

For all those who have the time, exhibitors will be offering information on "Strong and loyal customer relations: A factor of success for the future, too?”, "The gateway to health, wellness & information”, or a "Brain-controlled hearing aid”.

As soon as the trade exhibition closes on Future Friday at 2 p.m., the focus will be on the presentations and workshops offered free of charge by the hearing aid industry. These events will be running concomitantly with the regular conference programme. The forward-looking presentations cover innovations, sketch visions, and introduce new issues such as artificial intelligence, bimodal hearing solutions, or remote fine-tuning. There will be plenty of opportunity to deal with innovative ideas on Friday afternoon. It won’t be long before participants will be realising that the future starts now!

Beate Gromke, EUHA president: "Future Friday will be offering hearing aid acousticians, journeymen, master craftspeople and apprentices alike, a chance to keep up to speed and to get ready for the future!”

Dr Stefan Zimmer, BVHI chairman of the board: "Anyone attending this year’s EUHA Congress or the trade exhibition and keen on getting information on hearing aid technology and forward-looking issues and trends, should go on Future Friday.”
