The organizers would like to thank all participants and presenters for a very fruitful conference, with a high standard, focused and actual content, which shows that a lot of interesting research is going on within the field.

You can see here the Twitter story of the meeting.

The internet and modern information technology has had a major impact in health care and also in audiology. Not only are we using information technology such as websites and e-mail in the clinic, but there is also a growing number of studies in which the internet is used in audiological research.

One of the first applications in the world was internet-delivered psychological treatment for tinnitus back in the late 1990’s and since then there have been many other applications such as online hearing screening, online questionnaires, audiological rehabilitation, and many other uses of the internet. In Sweden a research program called FAS-IT has been running for more than four years and there are many other projects in the world involving the internet.
