Africa Summit on Hearing Impairment 2024

NAIROBI, KENYa
AFRICA SUMMIT ON HEARING IMPAIRMENT

HEARRING is delighted to announce that our experts will be present at the Africa Summit on Hearing Impairment, which will take place in Nairobi, Kenya from 7th to 8th of October 2024.

This wonderful event will bring together international experts and professionals in the field of ear and hearing care as well as policymaking to work towards solutions and develop strategies for the systematic management of hearing impairment. Moreover, it will also help to foster international collaboration and the exchange of knowledge.

One of the main objectives of the summit is to work towards developing strategies for the systematic management of hearing impairment. By bringing together experts from different disciplines, the summit aims to explore innovative approaches and best practices in the field.

Additionally, the summit seeks to contribute to policy solutions that will initiate the development of national and local Hearing Implant programmes. By engaging policymakers, the summit aims to create a conducive environment for the implementation of effective hearing healthcare programs.

Another important aspect of the summit is infrastructure and capacity building in the hearing healthcare sectors in Africa. The summit will provide a platform for discussions and collaborations on improving the infrastructure and resources available for hearing healthcare in the region. This includes addressing issues such as access to hearing loss solutions, screening programmes, and specialized training for healthcare professionals.

Lastly, the summit aims to enhance public health knowledge in hearing health among professionals, health planners, and policy makers. By sharing the latest research, advancements, and best practices in the field of hearing impairment, the summit aims to improve the overall understanding of hearing health and the impact of the public health approach on hearing health.

Overall, the Africa Summit on Hearing Impairment is a unique opportunity for international experts to come together, exchange knowledge, and work towards improving hearing healthcare sector in Africa. Through collaboration and policy advocacy, the summit aims to make a significant impact on the lives of individuals with hearing impairment in the region.

The HEARRING Group is genuinely excited about the opportunity to participate in the hearing care development during this event and thus help to raise the standards of practice in the African region.

New courses release continues!

We started a year with a brand new series of highly educational courses from our HEARRING experts! Let us introduce to you fresh three courses added to the collection.

The fourth course includes a brilliant discussion on “How to preserve the organ of Corti in Cochlear Implantation” moderated by our renowned member Prof. Dr. Paul Van de Heyning. The panelists of this discussion are Prof. Dr. Manoj Manikoth, Prof. Dr. Luis Lassaletta, Prof. Dr. Uwe Baumann, Prof. Dr. Timo Stöver, Prof. Dr. Shin-Ichi Usami, Prof. Dr. Hinrich Staecker, Prof. Dr. Stefan Dazert and Prof. Dr. Piotr Skarzynski. Our experts talk about the general and conceptual approach to the topic of the Corti organ, then look into the surgical aspects of it, followed by the electrophysiological monitoring and then sum up with the final comments.

This course is undergoing the process of receiving international accreditation in the amount of 1 CPD point. The certificate confirming the accreditation will be available soon.

The fifth course is comprised of four presentations by our renowned experts talking about “Age and Hearing Implants”. It also contains a panel discussion where the HEARRING professionals are reflecting on the importance of Quality Standards for older CI recipients and the need to raise awareness about hearing loss in older adults, illustrating the issues with some examples from their clinical practice. Prof. Dr. Dayse Tavora talks about the topic of “Cortical Auditory Responses: an objective tool for CI optimisation in different age groups”. Prof. Dr. Sandra Bellekom presents the “Adult cochlear implant trends in Australia”. Prof. Dr. Uwe Baumann looks into “Converting Unsuccessful Hearing Aid Users to Cochlear Implants”. And finally, Prof. Dr. Griet Mertens dives into the “Outcomes after CI in older adults”. The course is concluded by an insightful Q&A session.

HEARRING symposium at 17th CI2024 Gran Canaria

GRAN CANARIA
HEARRING SYMPOSIUM

at the 17th International Conference on Cochlear Implants and Other Implantable Technologies

We are delighted to announce that there will be a HEARRING symposium with our experts present at the upcoming CI2024, the International Conference on Cochlear Implants and Other Implantable Technologies! The conference takes place on 21-24 of February in Las Palmas of Gran Canaria in Spain, while the HEARRING Symposium will happen on the 23d of February, 2024 at 3:35 p.m. WET in Hall 7.

What can you expect?

The focus of the symposium will be on adults.

We set the stage for understanding how to improve CI and EAS hearing in adults by presenting the importance of stimulating the apical region (Prof. Agrawal), and by understanding psycho-acoustic evaluation of apical electric stimulation (Prof. Van De Heyning). Furthermore, we bring to spotlight the importance of preserving the delicate structures of the inner ear (Prof. Gavilán) as it is crucial for optimal results. We then provide the evidence that this is possible and is supported by long-term clinical data (Prof. Hagen). This is achieved by relying on quality standards (Prof. Hagr), serving as a holistic guide for clinics. While scientific evidence illuminates the path forward, technology access remains a challenge and we need to emphasize the practical importance of Adult Hearing Screening (Prof. Lassaletta) and reimbursement. All of this concludes the presentation by Ellen Andries PhD on the ICF (international classification of functioning, disability and health) for adults, which will establish a common language for healthcare providers when it comes to understanding the importance of CI’s and EAS outcomes.
