PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Cochlear implantation (CI) has become more available at centers throughout the world. Establishing and sustaining CI programs in the developing world poses many challenges. Access to CI screening audiology, variability in CI candidacy metrics, surgical approach and follow up as well as CI programming all vary from location to location. It is very important to identify and whenever possible to mitigate potential dilemmas that may impact CI programs. This diverse panel of international experts will discuss and summarize how they approach the CI programs in their specific locations and provide insight into strategies to optimize efficiency leading to successful sustainability.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Relate the clinical and socioeconomic challenges in establishing a CI program a variety of economic and healthcare settings.
  2. Discuss pearls to success in developing a cochlear implant program.
  3. Describe the necessary essentials of implementing long-term, sustainable services.
