The University of Kentucky Cochlear Implant (CI) Program was established in the late 1980’s and is the largest CI program in Kentucky. Our multi-disciplinary team is devoted to providing personalized compassionate patient-centered care. We seek to improve the communication abilities of our pediatric and adult patients and, thereby, enhance the quality of their lives. The University of Kentucky's team of board-certified Neurotologists and Audiologists combine evidence-based practice with cutting-edge technology to provide unsurpassed care. This cochlear implant team can provide high quality aural rehabilitation and speech therapy throughout all of Kentucky due to close collaborations with premier hearing institutes such as the Lexington Hearing & Speech Center and the Heuser Hearing Institute. Our team is actively engaged in high-impact research to advance the field of hearing sciences. Specifically, the University of Kentucky CI team is developing methods to improve the access to specialized care and bridging gaps to hearing healthcare for all patients.
