IHS maintains a strong network of state and provincial chapters that serve as vital hubs for hearing healthcare professionals who are committed to advancing professional standards, education, and patient advocacy.
Dual membership in both IHS and your local chapter is essential. While IHS provides international reach and resources, your chapter offers a localized support system, direct advocacy, and a powerful voice in legislative and regulatory efforts that shape the future of the profession.
Chapter involvement also fosters meaningful connections with peers in your region, creating opportunities for collaboration, leadership, and community impact. IHS partners closely with its chapters. However, each is independently governed, and chapter membership is separate from your IHS Membership.
