AEA Mini Symposium “Breaking Barriers” Sunday, 7 June 2026 – Vienna

The AEA–ECAT Mini Symposium 2026 in Vienna brought together a wide range of international stakeholders, including WHO, ITU, EFHOH, EHIMA, the Zero Project, Euro-CIU, Bluetooth SIG, and others. The central objective was to address a shared challenge: how to break barriers and ensure that ear and hearing care becomes accessible, inclusive, and effective for everyone.

The symposium offered a comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective by combining insights from policy, science, user experience, and real-world implementation. This allowed for a rich and well-rounded discussion of both challenges and solutions.
