President Opening Speech

Dear Audioprosthetists, Audiologists, ENT Specialists, Speech Therapists, Researchers, Health Professionals, and Partners in Hearing Care,

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great pleasure and sincere pride that I welcome you to the Third Edition of the Tunisian Audiology Congress (TAC 2026), a scientific event that has become a key meeting point for the hearing care community in Tunisia and beyond.

Building on the remarkable success of the previous two editions, which brought together distinguished national and international experts for high-level scientific exchange, this third edition is driven by a renewed ambition: to explore, anticipate, and shape the future of audiology and hearing care in the era of Artificial Intelligence and advanced technologies.

TAC 2026 is designed as a platform for innovation, reflection, and knowledge sharing, where clinicians, researchers, industry leaders, and healthcare professionals will exchange experiences, present their latest research findings, and discuss the major challenges redefining our field.

The integration of artificial intelligence, personalized hearing solutions, tele-audiology, innovative rehabilitation strategies, and the evolution of clinical and technological practices will form the core pillars of this year’s scientific program.

Once again, Tunisia—at the crossroads of expertise, scientific excellence, and cultural openness—offers an ideal setting for this international gathering, fostering meaningful dialogue and long-lasting collaborations. Renowned Tunisian and international speakers will lead conferences, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, providing valuable insights into both current and future trends in audiology and hearing sciences.

I am confident that TAC 2026 will represent a milestone in shaping the future of audiology, highlighting how artificial intelligence and technological innovation can be effectively harnessed to enhance patient care, clinical practice, and scientific research.

I wish you a stimulating and enriching congress, filled with knowledge sharing, inspiring encounters, and new professional perspectives. I sincerely thank you for your continued commitment to advancing hearing health.

Welcome to TAC 2026,
The Tunisian Audiology Congress,
Shaping the Future of Hearing Care.
