Message from the Program Chair:
AAA 2026 Call for Abstracts

On behalf of the American Academy of Audiology, I am excited to announce that the AAA 2026 Call for Abstracts opened August 19. As chair of the AAA 2026 Program Committee, I encourage you to seize this opportunity to share your work and help shape the future of audiology.

Our convention will be held April 22–25, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas, bringing together professionals from every corner of our field to exchange ideas, spark innovation, and inspire excellence in patient care. We are seeking abstracts that highlight meaningful research, forward-thinking clinical advancements, and strategies for improving patient care across the lifespan.

As audiologists, we do more than provide effective care, we also generate the knowledge, tools, and approaches that elevate our profession as a whole. Progress in patient care is built on a foundation of rigorous research, practical innovation, and the sharing of new ideas. Without the ongoing contributions of dedicated professionals like you, our ability to deliver the very best outcomes would be diminished.

Your voice, your work, and your insights matter. I look forward to your contributions—and to welcoming you in San Antonio in April!
