The Educational Audiology Association (EAA) has announced that its summer conference will be held July 18 - 21, 2009, at the beautiful Hotel Montelone in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans, LA.

The conference theme is "Hot Science, Cool Education, Sound Applications!" and includes presentations on a wide array of timely topics including (central) auditory processing disorders and treatment, auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, cochlear implants, classroom acoustics, FM and hearing assistance technology, and much more! The long list of distinguished presenters includes keynote speaker Frank Musiek and featured speakers Teri Bellis, Linda Hood, Jack Katz, Robert Keith, Gail Richard, and Linda Thibodeau, as well as other renowned experts.

In addition to earning CEU credits from ASHA and AAA, participants will have plenty of opportunity to network with fellow professionals and learn about the latest resources available from exhibitors. More hearing aid CE hours have been added this year as well!

Professionals will also have a chance to take in all the sights and sounds of New Orleans. Hotel Montelone, a historic landmark, is steps away from the Mississippi River, Bourbon Street, shops, restaurants, galleries, antique marts and jazz clubs.
