NHCA Fall Virtual Educational Summit

Category: NHCA Events

Join us on October 30th, 2024, for a unique opportunity to dive into the latest research and practical applications in hearing conservation. The first annual NHCA Fall Virtual Educational Summit brings together experts from around the globe to explore the intersections of hearing, health, and occupational safety. 

Expect a dynamic mix of live and on-demand sessions, all offering CEUs. Live sessions will be recorded, allowing participants to watch on-demand in the NHCA Learning Center if they are not able to the live events. Whether you’re interested in the long-term health impacts of noise exposure, innovative approaches to hearing loss and tinnitus research, or practical tools for occupational audiology, this Summit has something for everyone.

Our carefully curated sessions will cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Receive an introduction to key global initiatives in noise policy and learn how to effect change.
  • Discover the latest research linking noise exposure to various health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease and birth outcomes.
  • Learn about music exposures and cutting-edge research in auditory science.
  • Gain practical tools for occupational audiology.
  • Hear about the Dangerous Decibels Program, currently in its 25th year.
  • Learn about cultural competence and ethics.

Don’t miss out on this chance to learn from the leading minds in the field and earn CEUs while expanding your professional network.
