HEAL 2026 – HEARING ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

For over 20 years, HEAL has been a premier gathering for researchers, clinicians, and innovators from 40+ countries, driving forward the science and practice of hearing care.

HEAL 2026, the Biennial International Conference on Hearing Across the Lifespan, will bring together researchers, clinicians, and professionals from around the world to share advances in hearing science, technology, and patient care.
With over 400 delegates from 45+ countries, HEAL has become a leading international forum for innovation and collaboration in audiology.
The upcoming edition will be held in Padova, Italy—a city of history, culture, and learning, just steps away from Venice.
We warmly invite you to submit your abstract and join the global community shaping the future of hearing care.

 Join us in Padova for HEAL 2026 – an opportunity to contribute, connect, and advance the science and practice of hearing care worldwide.
