Conference Overview:

On September 27th and 28th 2007, the NCRAR will hold its third biennial conference, "Hearing Therapies for the Future" at the Portland World Trade Center in downtown Portland, Oregon. The goal of the conference is to bring together internationally acclaimed scientists and clinicians to facilitate treatment of hearing disorders common to OIF/OEF veterans. The conference will focus on the prevention, rescue and management of noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus. It will also highlight the complex interaction of noise induced hearing loss and traumatic brain injury as a result of blast trauma.

The conference is aimed at audiologists both within and outside the VA and will be a combined educational and scientific forum. Presenters at this conference are from universities and centers including University of California at Davis, University of Buffalo, Stanford University School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Center for Disease Control, House Ear Institute, Kresge Hearing Research Institute, US Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine, Sound Pharmaceuticals, and VA Audiology and Speech Pathology National Program Office.
