PAMA Wraps Successful 2025 With Hearing-Health Initiative, New Leadership Scholarships Among Highlights

The Professional Audio Manufacturers Alliance (PAMA) wrapped a busy year in December. Outcomes included the launch of its Hearing Rocks initiative, to spread awareness about hearing-loss-related issues in the audio industry, and the announcement, in partnership with Shure Inc., of the 2025 recipients of the fifth-annual Mark Brunner Professional Audio Scholarship.

The year also witnessed a shift in PAMA’s leadership, with the announcement that Yvonne Ho, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Point Source Audio, has become President of PAMA’s Board of Directors for a two-year term. Ho succeeds Chris Regan (RF Venue) in the role, while Regan remains on the board as a director.

“This year has been an eventful one for the PAMA organization,” remarks Ho. “Between our online events and ongoing advocacy for hearing health, as well as our scholarship co-sponsored by Shure, we touched a lot of corners of the industry and helped plant the seeds for great things in the future. We look forward to even more growth in 2026 as we continue in our efforts to improve the audio industry for all involved!”
