This premier center for clinical care and research on cochlear implants helps treat a variety of hearing, balance and communication disorders. The Barton G Kids Hear Now Cochlear Implant Family Resource Center is also housed within the UM Ear Institute and was established to create a seamless process that takes into account the social and emotional aspects of children with hearing loss and their families.
