Cochlear Implant Team

In the cochlear implant program at Johns Hopkins All Children's, otolaryngology/ENT surgeons and members of our audiology team work together to provide comprehensive care for children with cochlear implants.

We work closely with members of the speech-language and feeding team who provide auditory-based care for children with hearing loss to help them learn how to listen and talk. We also work with members of the hospital's social work team and the educational audiologist at your child's school as needed.
