Rio di Janeiro,
Brazil

The Brazilian Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening Association is organizing the XXI International Evoked Response Audiometry Study Group (IERASG) Symposium, at Windsor Barra Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, 8-11 June 2009.

The meeting will gather professionals from all over the world, to share research and clinical information in the fields of hearing and audiology with special emphasis on evoked potentials and otoacoustic emissions.

The IERASG meeting, held every two years, is attended by a small but prestigious group of international scientists with strong clinical backgrounds. The local committee will also be hosting a one day meeting on newborn hearing screening. This meeting will provide information for South Americans on current standard and technology from around the world. We hope you will be able to join us for this important event.
