On March 19th, ACI Alliance was grateful for the opportunity to participate in Little Ears Field Day in Gainesville, FL. Hosted by University of Florida’s Student Academy of Audiology and Heroes for Hearing, Little Ears Field Day was a day of fun, games, and learning for children with hearing loss and parents. ACI Alliance board member Melissa Hall AuD and Valerie James Abbott, author and advocate for Late Onset Hearing Loss Awareness Week, spoke to attendees and shared resources ACI Alliance supplied on cochlear implants.

RI. In May 2019, ACI Alliance State Champion and CI recipient Richard Reed helped spread the word about cochlear implants and ACI Alliance at an event held in Providence RI convened by the Rhode Island Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Richard answered questions about cochlear implants, shared demos of devices and explained some of the access issues children and adults face. Of course, the major issue is awareness and Richard helped with that.
