Abstract:
Cochlear implant technology continues to advance, placing new challenges on physicians, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and deaf educators to properly determine cochlear implant candidacy. This panel addressed the topics of new technology applied to elderly and to very young children. Six panelists were selected to represent varied regions of the world, prompting interesting discussion and interaction with the audience.
