Our experts include Dr. Karl Doerfer, assistant professor of otolaryngology at MCW and Dr. Sarah Klajbor, a pediatric cochlear implant audiologist - they are true experts in cochlear implants, an operation which will be explained in detail along with the many causes for childhood hearing loss. Most important, The Word on Medicine will bring you the perspective of the patient: Drs. Doerfer and Klajbor will be joined by 17-year-old Helena, who received a cochlear implant many years ago at Children’s Wisconsin, and her mom, Anna. Helena’s story of life with a cochlear implant, now 14-15 years after the operation, is a story you do not want to miss!
