Our multicenter study on earlier cochlear implant access is now published in The Laryngoscope.

More than 80% of children whose outcomes could be assessed at 12 months met study goals.

At 7 months, Ella received MED-EL #CochlearImplants through a clinical trial I helped lead at @luriechildrens.bsky.social. Seeing the growth of her language and social skills is why this work matters.

The research expanded children’s access to cochlear implants.

For decades, I’ve worked with children with hearing loss, including children once thought unlikely to benefit from devices including cochlear implantation.

What continues to drive me is a simple question: How can we help each child reach their potential?

The first ten seconds of the song “Hearing” by Sleeping at Last mapped across 22 intracochlear electrodes.

This Python script serves as a basic representation of ACE’s n-of-m signal coding strategy found in some cochlear implants, prominent in Nucleus devices.
