Research Symposium on Hearing
The Research Symposium on Hearing brings together clinicians and researchers at the ASHA Convention to discuss current research that has important implications for the study of communication sciences and disorders (CSD). Each year's symposium focuses on a specific theme in hearing research and is presented by invited speakers who are experts in their fields.
ASHA has offered this annual program since 2017. It is coordinated by the Hearing, Tinnitus, and Vestibular Science topic chair for Convention. Attendance is included with ASHA Convention registration; no separate registration or fee is required.
ASHA offers an Audiology/Hearing Science Research Travel Award (ARTA) for audiology and hearing science doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. Awardees each receive a stipend and an ASHA Convention registration fee waiver, and they attend key, pre-selected events and sessions, including the Research Symposium on Hearing.
