WORDS FROM THE CHAIR
As Chair of IERASG, it is my pleasure to welcome you the International Evoked Response Audiometry Study Group (IERASG). Our Study Group is for anyone with an interest in evoked response audiometry – we especially welcome young researchers in the field who are keen to discuss their ideas.
Previous IERASG Chairs, Professors Hal Davis, Terry Picton, Roger Thornton, and John Durrant, have had distinguished research careers and have made significant contributions to this field. I share their passion for research and translation of research findings into evidence-based clinical practice in evoked response audiometry.
IERASG is inclusive and international. Our goal is to advance global understanding and practice in the field of auditory evoked responses. We are multi-disciplinary with members who are scientists, clinicians and students. The diversity of the IERASG Council represents our global membership. It is easy to join IERASG – just attend the next Symposium! IERASG Symposia are held in different parts of the world. The symposia provide opportunities for people with an interest in auditory evoked responses to come together for a free exchange of ideas between senior and newer researchers in a supportive and welcoming environment.
Our last very successful in-person Biennial IERASG meeting was held in Cologne, Germany in 2023. We welcomed many new IERASG colleagues around the world to this event, including the pre-Symposium workshops, and the main event which included outstanding keynote presentations, oral and poster presentation sessions, and animated discussions. You can find links to our previous Symposia programmes and abstracts here.
We hope that many of you will join us in Boulder Colorado, USA, June 14-18, 2025, for our 29th Biennial Symposium. This will be an opportunity to celebrate our topic, learn about new research, discuss new directions for our field, meet new and old colleagues, and, most importantly, make new friends.
We also encourage you to join the World Congress of Audiology this year in Paris, France, 19-22 September 2024. IERASG will be presenting a Workshop and mini-Symposium and hosting the oral session Electrophysiology & Auditory Evoked Potentials. We are looking forward to joining colleagues from all over the world at this important event for hearing researchers and clinicians.
