PORA stands for: Personal Online – Recordings Available: making high-quality knowledge available now to professionals, parents and cochlear implant users worldwide.

Since 2009, PORA has offered free monthly webinars featuring some of the world’s leading experts in audiology, cochlear implantation and auditory rehabilitation.

The programme was relaunched in 2026 with a new structure and an even broader international reach.

Goals of PORA
