12 brilliant young inventors from 11 different countries won the 2024 IDEASforEARS contest and had a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the MED-EL headquarters in Innsbruck.

During the two-day event, the winners learned more about the process of making hearing implants, got to meet their personal implant makers, experimented in the science lab and made lifelong friendships with the other
inventors from all over the world. Make sure to not miss the upcoming IDEASforEARS contest!
