This is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the 50 years of cochlear implantation. Since 1961 – the first single channel implantation – until today we have seen great changes and remarkable outcomes in our field that nobody could ever guess. All-together we will celebrate these 50 years and ponder upon what we have accomplished as well as plan together the future developments.

The scientific program is designed to enhance the experience and skills of the participants and covers a wide range of subjects. The program will include plenary sessions, lectures, round tables, debates, meet the expert sessions, symposiums and free paper sessions.

The multi¬disciplinary approach will be emphasized and special workshops will focus on speech and language therapy and education. We will share the latest news on surgery and technology but there will also be special days devoted to teachers for the deaf and speech pathologists whose contribution is very important.

In regards to the participation of Indian ENT specialists to our Congress, we would like to inform you about the reduced fee that will apply to the participants of your country (the regular registration is 750 Euros).
