Audiologists from around the nation have gathered to watch, learn and hear from experts, and network at The Sound Exchange ’26, Audiology Australia’s premier, hands-on educational event for the year .
Two days of masterclasses across four streams were well attended in Sydney’s Accor Stadium from 12-13 May 2026.
The streams were identification and support of tinnitus and hyperacusis; management of chronic conductive hearing loss (CCHL); assessment and management of children with listening difficulties; and extending your diagnostic test battery.
Delegates also enjoyed pre-conference workshops on 11 May on sub-clinical hearing difficulties, enhancing vHIT and VEMP techniques, and delivering a deaf diagnosis with care, clarity and confidence.
Leanne Emerson, Audiology Australia (AudA) CEO, thanked everyone who made the event “a tremendous success”.
“We’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Many audiologists mentioned how valuable it was to spend three days learning from ‘the best’ in the industry,” she told Hearing Practitioner Australia.
“Our exhibition space (the Exchange Hub), which showcased 29 exhibitors, again gave audiologists the valuable opportunity to familiarise themselves with the breadth of organisations helping to shape the future of hearing care.
“From the delegates to all the speakers at the workshops and masterclass streams, partners, exhibitors, supporters, not to mention AudA board members and staff, everyone played a part in helping to create this very skill-based, practically oriented, fun event.”
Emerson announced that the Audiology Australia 2027 Conference will be from 11-14 May 2027 at Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. It will be part of the 2027-2028 CPD cycle.
“We look forward to seeing you at our next national gathering,” she said.
