EUHA 2024 Welcomes Young Professionals with Free Congress Access

At the 68th International Congress of Hearing Aid Acousticians (EUHA) in Hanover, the next generation of industry professionals will have a unique opportunity to advance their careers. For the first time, apprentices and students will be granted free access to all three days of the Congress, which will take place in October 2024. This initiative aligns with the Congress’s theme of offering young professionals a “career kick-start” through networking, learning, and growth opportunities.

The Congress features an extensive program, including 26 lectures, five tutorials, and the popular Future Friday event. Participants will have the chance to attend guided tours, a knowledge symposium, and various sessions across the Congress program, all designed to enhance their understanding and expertise in hearing aid acoustics.

Future Friday, a highlight of the event, will present four keynote speeches on forward-looking topics within the field. Among the speakers is Theresa Schleicher, a retail futurologist, who will discuss the future of specialist retail and consumer behavior in urban centers. Prof. Dr. David Matusiewicz, an expert in digital health and CEO of the DXM Group, will explore the digital transformation in hearing aid acoustics. Additionally, Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. Benedikt Höingfrom Essen University Hospital will address the benefits of cochlear implants and the role of artificial intelligence in predicting hearing outcomes. Sergi Rotger-Griful, Ph.D., from the Eriksholm Research Centre, will focus on the communication challenges faced by individuals with hearing loss.

The event also offers a dedicated space for young professionals to connect and exchange ideas at the Meeting Point in the EUHA-Live Area, Hall 6, fostering the development of a strong professional network.
