The ARC Conference on April 1, 2020 in New Orleans will gather leaders in research to present the latest information on Auditory Neuropathy (AN) and Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD). Patients with AN/ANSD present unique challenges to clinicians with regard to audiological evaluation and management. This full day event (lunch included) will present the latest information on topics of importance in understanding, evaluating, and managing patients of all ages with ANSD.
