It is my great pleasure to announce that the much-awaited 14th Asia Pacific Symposium on Cochlear Implant and Related Sciences (APSCI 2023 Seoul) will be held on November 8-11, 2023 in Seoul, Korea. On behalf of the Korean otologic and audiologic societies, I would like to invite everyone in the field to join us at this prestigious symposium. We are happy to announce that this APSCI 2023 Seoul will be held in-person, allowing us to finally meet each other after our long and difficult pandemic times.

The global cochlear implant society has strived to provide the patients with better speech perception and now expanding our horizon further, to focus on enhancing the quality of life of our patients in various aspects. Under the theme ‘Towards better speech perception and beyond’, we will be increasing our knowledge and broadening our perspectives with an extensive program and coverage of ground-breaking findings from world-renowned speakers. We will cover numerous emerging issues beyond the CI operation including, but not limited to, theory of mind, school performance, mobile health, genetics, AI and more.

We should learn from discoveries and research by the leading countries while considering the paths we are setting for our upcoming younger generation around the world. Accordingly, we hoped to set the registration fees at reasonable rates with travel grants for our bright future leaders.

Seoul, one of the world’s safest and most lively cities, is easily accessible from around the globe, and we hope you will be delighted by its beautiful blend of rich tradition and dynamic culture during your stay. I sincerely extend my invitation to all of you to attend the APSCI 2023 Seoul and look forward to welcoming you.

Sincerely,
