Asia Oceania Association of Audiology
In 2007, during an international ORL-HNS meeting held in
the Philippines, a group of audiologists, otolaryngologists,
educators, and allied medical science practitioners noted
the growing need for professional audiological services in
the Asia Oceania region brought on by changes in the global
environment.
The group decided to form an association that will establish
itself as a strong and effective professional network for
the exchange of ideas and new technologies in the region,
including the promotion of research and cooperation among
member countries.
They named the association
Asia Oceania Association of Audiology.
