WORDS FROM THE CHAIR

As the new Chair of IERASG, it is my pleasure to welcome you at the website of the International Evoked ResponseAudiometry Study Group (IERASG).

Although the IERASG started in the ‘70s as a true ‘study group’, over the years it has grown into a well-known international symposium for experts who meet every two years on different continents worldwide to share scientific knowledge and keep each other informed of the latest developments in the field of auditory and vestibular electrophysiology. IERASG focuses on clinical, fundamental, and translational research, but explicitly encourages young researchers to discuss their electrophysiological work with senior colleagues in a supportive environment, either during the conference or during informal individual meetings. IERASG is an international, inclusive and multi-disciplinary symposium with members varying from fundamental research scientists to clinicians as well as students (NB. reduced fees for students).

Since its founding in 1970, the previous distinguished IERASG presidents, professors Hallowell Davis, Terrence Picton, Roger Thornton, John Durrant, and Suzanne Purdy, all with proven scientific status, have made significant contributions to the field of objective audiometry. Therefore, it is a privilege for me to continue their mission, i.e. sharing and discussing scientific knowledge on auditory electrophysiology, but also bridge the gap between young and ‘old’.

Our last 29th Biennial IERASG symposium took place at the University of Colorado in Boulder (USA). It was a very successful meeting, covering 4 pre-conference workshops (Advanced EEG analysis, Advances in middle ear analysis, Electrophysiology in clinical vestibular assessment, and very fruitful plenary discussions on pediatric ABR/ASSR protocols), followed by main symposium that covered outstanding invited keynote presentations, excellent oral and (active) poster presentation sessions.

After the recent success of Colorado, we hope that many of you will also join us in Seoul (South Korea) Sept 5-9, 2027 at our 30th Biennial IERASG Symposium. This will be an opportunity to share your science, learn about latest developments of electrophysiological assessment, bring your PhD students, meet new and old colleagues, and - most importantly - make new friends and start new scientific collaborations.

The 30th Biennial IERASG Symposium will be hosted by our well-esteemed Korean colleagues, being IERASG-member for many years with a long history in Audiology (note. Korean Audiology Society was already founded in 1966 and organized 24th IERASG 2015) and Vestibulology (note. organized one of the worldwide leading congresses on vestibular science, 29th Barany Society in 2016).

Finally, as Affiliate Society of the International Society of Audiology (ISA), I also invite you to join the 37th World Conference of Audiology (that will also take place in Seoul, 24-27 May, 2026), where - according to tradition - IERASG organizes a mini-symposium as part of the 37th WCA program.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you, your colleagues and/or students at the next 30th Biennial IERASG Symposium in September 2027!
