Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Pediatric audiology
Speech-language pathology

Background:

Cochlear implantation is a vital intervention for severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in children.
The process is often narrowly viewed as surgical, neglecting crucial non-medical management aspects.
Limited access to cochlear implantation services exists in India, with otolaryngologists leading programs.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach in pediatric cochlear implant programs.
To discuss the non-medical components of cochlear implant candidacy.
To introduce a model program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

Main Methods:

Review of the multidisciplinary team approach at CHOP's Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program.
