Phonak has built a strong reputation in pediatric audiology by hosting scientific conferences featuring internationally renowned experts. A prime example is the International Pediatric Audiology Conference, held approximately every three years. It immerses attendees in several days of scientific and clinical learning, ensuring hearing care professionals stay up to date in pediatric best practice.

This fall, we are excited to host the 9th International Pediatric Audiology Conference, “A Sound Foundation Through Early Amplification,” in San Diego from October 27th to 30th, 2024. The conference is chaired by Professors Anne Marie Tharpe and Marlene Bagatto and organized by the Phonak Pediatric Advisory Board. Expect to hear from leading experts in pediatric audiology, including experienced clinicians and new investigators.

These discussions will be framed within the context of family-centered care for children with hearing loss. The event will also feature focused panel sessions on intriguing clinical topics.
