The XXXII World Congress of Audiology 2014 has been organised and hosted by Audiology Australia, one of the ISAs Affiliated Associations, and supported by HEARing Cooperative Research Centre, a consortium of twenty-six organisations dedicated to improving the prevention and remediation of hearing loss. The co-hosts have developed an exciting program, featuring three round tables on topical issues in audiology, together with a range of special symposiums, free papers, and posters, as well as an extensive Trade Exhibition.
