Two ACI Alliance members were featured in the first broadcast of NPR’s new series “Breakthrough: Portraits of Women in Science.” Rene Gifford and Allyson Sisler-Dinwiddie participated in the video documentary Breakthrough: a Re-sounding Remedy discussing cochlear implant technology and benefits. This is an important contribution to our efforts to improve public awareness about cochlear implants.

The mission of the American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance is to advance access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness.
