Hearing Health & Technology Matters (HHTM) is now accepting submissions for the sixth annual Hearing Technology Innovator Awards™, an annual programme honouring technological innovation and achievement in the hearing industry.
This year’s awards will recognise excellence in the following eight categories: hearing aids; personal listening devices; assistive technology and software; service delivery; equipment; auditory implants; hearing conservation and therapeutics.
All eligible entries will be presented for public voting in August, and submissions receiving the most votes in each subcategory will be named winners. The prestigious ‘Innovator of the Year’ title will be awarded by an international panel of expert judges, who will select the top entry from among the subcategory winners. The judging will be based on innovation, effectiveness, efficiency and utility.
The winners will be announced in September. As in previous years, category winners and the Innovator of the Year will be recognised during the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) AuDacity 2025 conference, taking place 25 - 28 September in Washington DC, at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
Since launching the awards programme in 2020, HHTM has raised thousands of dollars for nonprofits dedicated to advancing hearing health. Past beneficiaries have included organisations such as the Hearing Loss Association of America, the Hearing Health Foundation, and others working to support individuals with hearing loss, tinnitus and related conditions. Now in its sixth year, the programme continues its commitment to driving meaningful impact across the hearing health landscape.
