About

Research Institute of Experimental and Clinical Audiology

The Autonomous Non-profit Organization “Research Institute of Experimental and Clinical Audiology” was established in accordance with the by decision of the Presidium of the Russian Society of Audiologists in 2001.

The main areas of the Institute’s activities are early detection and diagnosis of hearing loss and rehabilitation of patients with hearing impairment and deafness.

The Institute is a member of the World Hearing Forum under the World Health Organization, and serves as the clinical base for the Department of Clinical Audiology of the Surgical Faculty of the Russian Medical Academy of Continuous Professional Education.
