Simulated Steps of Cochlear Implantation
Otologists are trained in the medical and surgical treatment of hearing loss, ear infections, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. Otologists also manage congenital (birth) and acquired disorders of the outer, middle and inner ear.
There are many medical and surgical options for ear problems, however patients need a thorough evaluation....
The lists represent some ear pathology and available surgical options:
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Leo Buscaglia
“Although it is true that mere detection of a sound does not ensure its recognition, it is even more true, that without detection the probabilities of correct identification are greatly diminished.” David Pascoe, PhD
"All our relationships are person to person. They involve people seeing, hearing, touching and speaking (communicating) to each other; they involve sharing goods and they involve moral values like generosity and compassion" Brendan Myers
