MAINZ, GERMANY —  The European Union of Hearing Aid Acousticians (EUHA) and the Swiss Association of Hearing Aid Acousticians AKUSTIKA have recently entered into a cooperation agreement aimed at fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing at the European level. The agreement, signed on 4 May 2023 during SwissHearCon in Zug, focuses on enhancing communication, promoting scientific findings, and improving the exchange of information among practitioners, scientists, and technologists.

The two associations have committed themselves to actively supporting further education and professional development within the industry. They also aim to exchange practical experiences from the evolving field of hearing aid acoustics and learn from them, with the ultimate goal of growing together and becoming attractive partners for their members.

The cooperation partners will work together in the areas of communication and public relations, both at a professional level and during events. Members of both associations will benefit from this collaboration, including reduced rates for participation in events hosted by either organization.

Expressing her satisfaction with the cooperation, EUHA President Beate Gromke commented:

“We all benefit from this collaboration and strengthen each other. I am particularly pleased that the members of our associations can participate in the events of both organizations at reduced rates. That is a win-win situation in every respect!”

Bürgin expressed excitement about the collaboration with EUHA and hopes that their joint efforts will yield fruitful results, which they plan to present at the upcoming EUHA Congress.
