HEAL 2026 – Where Innovation in Hearing Care Meets Inspiration

Get ready for HEAL 2026, the Biennial International Conference on Hearing Across the Lifespan—an unparalleled event bringing together global leaders, researchers, and practitioners in hearing care.

For over 20 years, the HEAL Conferences have set the gold standard for advancing hearing health, spotlighting breakthroughs in diagnostics, rehabilitation, and patient empowerment. With participation from 40+ countries and over 300 presentations, HEAL fosters collaboration in an inclusive, dynamic environment.

While the picturesque shores of Lake Como have been a hallmark of HEAL, the 2026 edition introduces a captivating and enchanting new destination: Padova, a city rich in history and culture, just a stone's throw from the iconic wonders of Venice.

In addition to the Scientific Program, which promises to be even more engaging and stimulating than in previous years, we are preparing a rich Social Program that will allow us to fully appreciate and experience the extraordinary wonders of this magnificent area of Veneto.

More details about HEAL 2026 will be shared soon—keep an eye on your inbox for upcoming announcements.
