Cochlear Implant Center

 

    Mid-Michigan children will soon be able to receive treatment for their cochlear implants at Central Michigan University as a result of a new $293,969 grant from the Carls Foundation. The new center will provide more convenient service for children in northern and mid-Michigan who now must travel to centers in southern Michigan and offer clinical assistance in treating patients beginning one year after they receive the implant. The patients need frequent checkups to monitor how well the implants are functioning, and occasionally an audiologist must adjust the device. CMU hopes to open this implant center as early as this summer.
