Louise Hickson (AUS), Cheryl DeConde Johnson (USA) and Linda Thibodeau (USA), the chairs of this conference, and the Phonak Steering Committee have worked for the past several months identifying the topics and speakers that are critical to making this combined conference a success.

The interactive podium discussion and clinicians’ forum will also put the spotlight on how best to address the hearing difficulties experienced by your hearing impaired clients. There are many opportunities to discuss clinical issues during the presentations, poster sessions and social events.
