Otology Update
Dear colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the Otology Update 2025, taking place from March 4th to 7th, 2025, in Hannover, Germany.
Under the auspices of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Hannover Medical School, and in collaboration with our supporting association, this comprehensive course offers an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in otology.
The program is designed to cater to both experienced otologists and those keen to expand their expertise. Over four days, you will have the opportunity to engage with distinguished international experts, participate in hands-on workshops, and explore cutting-edge technologies in otological care and research.
We are committed to providing a stimulating environment for learning, discussion, and networking, all set in the vibrant city of Hannover.
I warmly encourage you to mark your calendar and join us for this exciting event. Together, we can exchange knowledge, refine our skills, and continue advancing the field of otology.
I look forward to welcoming you to Hannover in March 2025!
