At 7 months, Ella received MED-EL #CochlearImplants through a clinical trial I helped lead at @luriechildrens.bsky.social. Seeing the growth of her language and social skills is why this work matters.

The research expanded children’s access to cochlear implants.

For decades, I’ve worked with children with hearing loss, including children once thought unlikely to benefit from devices including cochlear implantation.

What continues to drive me is a simple question: How can we help each child reach their potential?
