Join us live online March 28-31, 2021 for the 8th International Pediatric Audiology Conference, “A Sound Foundation Through Early Amplification”.  The conference is now planned as a fully virtual experience with 2.5 days of presentations and featuring live Q &A sessions with all speakers and a live, interactive poster session.

Speakers selected hail from among the world’s most distinguished pediatric audiology experts as well as experts in related fields, new researchers and clinicians. This conference aims to stimulate thoughtful interactions among attendees and speakers on a wide variety of topics related to childhood hearing loss. Topics include:

  • minimizing listening challenges in children with hearing loss,
  • working with children who have unusual hearing loss configurations,
  • contemporary newborn hearing screening approaches, and
  • Pediatric eHealth — all within the context of family-centered service provision for children with hearing loss
     

Sponsored by Phonak, the conference is chaired by Anne Marie Tharpe, Ph.D., Professor of Hearing and Speech Sciences at Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center, and Marlene Bagatto, Au.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Elborn College. The Phonak Research Advisory Board serves as the steering committee. This conference cannot be missed! “The attendees of this conference can be assured of an exciting forum of speakers from around the world,” says Tharpe.
