Dear colleagues and friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Berlin for the 2nd World Congress on Eustachian Tube Research and Interventions. From 23 to 25 April 2027, clinicians, scientists and innovators from around the world will come together to advance our understanding and treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction.
Berlin—a city shaped by exchange, courage and reinvention—offers an inspiring setting for open discussion, critical reflection and new collaborations. Together, we will examine current evidence, share practical experience and explore the next generation of diagnostics and therapies.
