YMPOSIUM SSYMPOSIUM PROGRAM ROGRAM SYMPOSIUMP P ROGRAM ACI ALLIANCE CI 2015: EMERGING ISSUES IN COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION Letter from Craig Buchman, MD Chair, Board of Directors, ACI Alliance Dear Friends, On behalf of the Organizing Committee, welcome to CI 2015 in rd Washington, DC—the 3 Annual Meeting of the American Cochlear Implant Alliance. We are excited that you have joined us to interact with your peers from the United States and around the world. All of us will learn and share information and experiences about Emerging Issues in Cochlear Implantation. In addition to areas that are cogent to our mission, we will have panels that explore auditory brainstem implantation in children, quality of life, objective measures, and a special session devoted to living with a cochlear implant and connectivity. We have an extraordinary group of featured expert speakers and invited special guests to bolster the program. This will be a memorable exchange. We are grateful to those who arrived early to visit with national legislators to share information on the needs of children and their families and adults with hearing loss. As you know, the ACI Alliance remains hard at work, trying to improve access to cochlear implantation. The advocacy effort at this meeting is critical to expanding awareness among legislators and staff regarding hearing loss, cochlear implants and the impact that our intervention has on an individual’s life. Through this work, we are hopeful that politicians will be empowered to make decisions that improve access and ultimately change the lives of adults and children with hearing loss. Don’t miss the Member Meeting (open to all conference attendees) on Friday morning where we will share our recent accomplishments and provide time for our ACI Alliance State Champions to describe their local efforts to address public and private insurance plan coverage, early intervention, and general awareness among elected and appointed officials. We are proud of their ongoing efforts to address access at the state and national levels. On Saturday morning, a special synergy session on Hearing Restoration and Neuroscience will feature Internet guru Vinton Cerf as he moderates a freewheeling, interdisciplinary discussion engaging three distinguished scientists whose seminal work on cochlear implants intersects broader brain science topics. We wish you a highly rewarding conference experience! Sincerely, Craig A.

Explain medical considerations and intervention needs associated with ABI placement in children. 2. Describe how electrically evoked compound action potential responses change with polarity and interphase gap. 3. Describe measures of utility critical to understanding patients’ valuation of cochlear implantation. 4. Compare and discuss literacy outcomes for children implanted during the 1990s with those of children receiving cochlear implants after 2000. 5. Discuss advantages of various cochlear implant candidacy measures relative to adult performance. 6. Explain the rationale for expanding cochlear implant indications in children and adults including candidates with normal to less severe hearing loss in one ear. 7. Describe how various hearing assistance technologies improve speech recognition performance. 8. Describe clinical considerations in utilizing electric-acoustic stimulation. Course Description The principal goal of this conference is to open the pathways between research and clinical application in the cochlear implant realm by facilitating timely sharing of information between scientists, clinicians, and educators. Cochlear implant candidacy and outcomes have advanced reflecting technology improvements, early identification, and better linkage between the surgical intervention and follow-up care. Children and adults with a range of hearing losses and other issues are now benefiting importantly from traditional cochlear implants as well as electric-acoustic stimulation and auditory brainstem implants. Cochlear implant candidacy guidelines have changed to include children and adults with more residual hearing as well as other anatomic, health, and learning issues that would have been considered “absolute” or “relative” contraindications in the past. Utilization of other technologies, in combination with the cochlear implant device, have provided further expansions in outcomes bringing recipients even closer to “normal” hearing. With all of these changes have come a new recognition of the quality of life changes and cost utility made possible when the right device is matched to appropriate patients. 10 Save the Dates for CI2016 International! 14th InternatIonal ConferenCe on CoChlear Implants and Other Implantable Technologies Date & Location: May 11 – 14, 2016 • Sheraton Centre, Toronto, CA Scientific Program chairS: Julian Nedzelski, MD • Joseph Chen, MD ACI Alliance and University of Toronto, Sunnybrook Health Sciences invite you to join over 1500+ physicians, audiologists, speech pathologists, educators, hearing scientists and members of industry at CI2016 International in Toronto, CA.

He is a 2015 inductee to the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame. Unable to appreciate music- or even have a so-called "normal" conversation- for nearly ten years, Richard's hearing was restored through a combination of cochlear implant surgery and neuroplasticity. An advocate for hearing and "music loss" all over the world, Richard demonstrates how music really sounds through an electric ear.

And they have wonderful restaurants at all price ranges. Here are five of my favorites that are walking distance from the hotel. Cashion’s Eat Place / 1819 Columbia Road NW Small plates that won’t break the bank, this Adams Morgan favorite fills up on weekends so make a reservation. Locals characterize it as funky chic. This is on my husband’s short list. It’s a nice long walk from the hotel or a short taxi ride. Mintwood Place / 1813 Columbia Rd NW A bit of farmhouse, a bit of French—the result is divine. Also in Adams Morgan and right next door to Cashion’s. Lebanese Taverna / 2641 Connecticut Ave NW Yes, this is a chain but it’s a local chain and the food is authentic Lebanese. It’s less than a block from the hotel. Especially fun for a group. Amsterdam Falafelshop / 2425 18th St NW Falafel on pita bread plus Middle Eastern salads. Quick, tasty, and inexpensive. Himalayan Heritage Restaurant / 2305 18th St NW Sweet Himalayan-lodge decor serves spicy Nepalese-Indian fare including tandoori & delicious steamed dumplings. 43 ACI ALLIANCE CI 2015: EMERGING ISSUES IN COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION Things to do in DC Please visit www.washington.org for additional entertainment and restaurant options.
