Dear Partners in Pediatric Hearing Care
The provision of hearing aids for children involves various specialist disciplines as well as the parents. Coordinated definitions and clearly regulated processes establish a common ground and help prevent misunderstandings.
A working group has formulated a Switzerland-wide consensus on this matter. The findings will be presented at the continuing education event on November 2, 2026.
