Hearing Across the Lifespan (HeAL) 2026 conference

We're excited to meet with colleagues and partners in person at the HeAL 2026 conference, scheduled for June 4-6 in Padova, Italy. Meet us at booth 4 at this year's conference, where you’ll have ample opportunity to discover our portfolio of solutions for evoked potentials testing, newborn hearing screening, and more.


Aided benefit made clear

As one of the highlights at HeAL 2026, we're excited to discuss the Aided Cortical module for the Interacoustics Eclipse, which makes it possible to objectively and reliably validate hearing aid or cochlear implant fitting in infants or patients with complex needs who cannot subjectively respond.

Clinicians can use the outcome of the test to counsel their patient’s family – offering much needed reassurance – and make informed adjustments to the hearing device settings. The Aided Cortical module also includes the new ManU-IRU stimuli, developed by IRU in collaboration with Manchester University.

Stop by booth 4 to learn more.
