Join us March 28-31, 2021 for the 8th International Pediatric Audiology Conference, “A Sound Foundation Through Early Amplification”.  The conference is planned as a hybrid model this year. It will take place in San Diego and will also include a full online virtual conference component. Participants will have the option to choose whether to attend either as an in-person attendee (with simultaneous access to the full online virtual conference component) or as a ‘virtual only’ attendee.

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.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the conference or virtually.

Kind regards

Your Phonak Team

Please note that your safety is our priority. In response to the current situation, our host, InterContinental, has expanded its commitment to rigorous cleaning procedures with additional COVID-19 protocols and best practices to reflect the advice of regional and global health authorities. We assure you that appropriate measures will be taken to ensure a safe experience for in-person attendees. Should COVID-19 conditions not allow the conference to occur in person at all, the conference will be moved to a fully virtual format. Hotel block reservations would be automatically purged and everyone could be converted to an online-only registration. For now, we are cautiously optimistic that we will go forward with a hybrid option. Please continue to reference this webpage in the coming months for more details.
