14th Symposium onCOCHLEAR IMPLANTS IN CHILDRENDecember 11-13, 2014 Co-Organized by American Cochlear Implant Alliance and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville

Letter from Craig Buchman MD Chair, Board of Directors, ACI Alliance

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance, we would like to welcome you to our Annual Meeting, the 14th Symposium on Cochlear Implants in Children, here in Nashville. We are excited that you have chosen to join us to explore and learn more about the newest findings and emerging issues in our field. Drs. Haynes, Gifford and Rivas and their entire team from

Vanderbilt University have created a compelling program that spans our discipline. We are all indebted to their hard work and commitment to creating the scientific program for this meeting and supporting the organization as a whole.

Since we last met, the ACI Alliance has been hard at work in support of our mission to improve access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness. Some of our recent accomplishments that we are exceedingly proud of are: (1) the rollout of our Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)-approved study to expand indications for cochlear implantation in the Medicare population; (2) the turning back of the proposed rule that sought to eliminate osseointegrated implant coverage in Medicare patients, an outcome that could have threatened cochlear implant coverage in general; and (3) the expansion of our state champions program that works to monitor and impact the Affordable Care Act at the state and federal levels and is now moving to address other concerns such as very low Medicaid reimbursement and the federal Reauthorization of the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Act. To learn more about the Alliance and get involved in what we have planned for the future, please join us on Friday morning at the Member meeting. I also encourage you to visit our new website (www.acialliance.org ) to review in detail our strategic plan and other accomplishments from the last year.

Finally, I want to thank our Board members and our corporate sponsors that make the meeting and the work of the ACI Alliance possible. Advanced Bionics, MED-EL, and Cochlear Americas have generously provided unwavering support and commitment to our patients and the success of the field in general and for this we are grateful.

Sincerely,

Craig A. Buchman, MD Chair, Board of Directors American Cochlear Implant Alliance

About the ACI AllianceThe American Cochlear Implant Alliance is a not-for-profit membership organization created to eliminate barriers to cochlear implantation. The ACI Alliance membership spans scientists and clinicians from across the cochlear implant continuum of care including otolaryngologists, audiologists, speech pathologists, psychologists, and others in cochlear implant teams. Parents of children with cochlear implants, adult recipients, and other advocates for access to care are also active members. Now and going forward, ACI Alliance organizes clinical research meetings that in the past were convened by cochlear implant clinics and hospitals. Some of these conferences are collaborative ventures such as the 14th Symposium on Cochlear Implants in Children with Vanderbilt University Medical Center and ACI Alliance, while others will be convened by the Alliance alone.Our mission: To advance access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness.

Welcome from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, NashvilleOn behalf of the entire Organizing Committee, welcome to Nashville, Tennessee and the 14th Symposium on Cochlear Implants in Children co-organized by the American Cochlear Implant Alliance and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. We are excited that you have joined us in Nashville, our hometown, for this great event. The Organizing Committee has prepared a diverse program showcasing the scientific works of many individuals, university programs, and cochlear implant centers worldwide. We are fortunate to welcome teams from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia showcasing their work in cochlear implants and other implantable auditory devices. Our program topics are diverse highlighting many newer and emerging topics such as hearing preservation surgery, therapies for single-sided deafness, strategies for promoting language in deaf children, and music appreciation with cochlear implantation. Global outreach and economic issues as related to cochlear implantation will also be discussed. The diverse topics on the agenda should provide a venue for all disciplines in our field that share a common goal: to improve outcomes and the lives of children with hearing loss. We would like to express our gratitude to the corporate sponsors for their generous support. Please join us in thanking Advanced Bionics, Cochlear Americas, and MED-EL and all of our sponsors for their support of this great educational program. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, thank you again for coming to the great city of Nashville. Please enjoy all of the benefits this unique city has to offer. We look forward to an excellent scientific conference for all in attendance!

auditory, visual and somatosensory cortex• List telehealth options for audiology, speech-language pathology, deaf education,

and otology as related to childhood deafness and cochlear implantation

Course DescriptionThe overarching goal of this conference is to open the pathways of education, dissemination of research, and dialogue between clinicians, educators, and scientists with the intended outcome of improving identification, intervention, and long-term outcomes for children with cochlear implants. In line with this goal, the primary objectives include an interdisciplinary distribution of knowledge, research and awareness for pediatric cochlear implantation highlighting clinically translational research for audiologists, deaf educators, engineers, otologists, speech-language pathologists, and consumer advocates. Presentations will cover all aspects of pediatric cochlear implantation from early identification of hearing loss, intervention, childhood language development, implant programming, outcomes, surgical issues and considerations, and future directions for research.

The Cochlear Implant Program at the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center is a comprehensive surgical and clinical service for patients of all ages. This data-driven program, housed within a world-class medical center and children’s hospital, combines the expertise of neurotologists, pediatric otolaryngologists, and audiologists dedicated exclusively to auditory implant and amplification management, as well as speech-language pathologists specializing in aural habilitation for all communication modalities. Pediatric intervention includes a spoken-language preschool, parent-infant and toddler programs, and self-advocacy training for school-age children. Academic components of the program include top-ranked graduate programs with specialty tracks in childhood deafness, a master’s in deaf education training program emphasizing spoken-language, and seven research laboratories studying childhood deafness and/or cochlear implants.

The Mama Lere Hearing School at VanderbiltThe Mama Lere Hearing School at Vanderbilt is an early intervention program and preschool with the goal of getting children with hearing loss ready for kindergarten. The program focuses on the development of communication skills including listening, talking, and reading. Children are team-taught by specially-trained certified teachers of the deaf, early childhood education specialists, and speech-language pathologists. Educational audiologists provide on-site and outreach services. A social worker and occupational therapists are available as needed.
