Schedule at a Glance
We are excited to share the Preliminary Scientific Program for CI2024 International in Vancouver, British Columbia for July 10-13, 2024. Though we expect that there will be some additions and small changes, this is a close approximation of what you can expect in Vancouver. We are grateful to our Conference Chairs—Drs. Jacob Hunter and Viral Tejani—and the entire CI Program Team for their work on putting together the program. We’re also gratified that so many extraordinary clinicians and scientists from around the world have chosen to share their clinical research with all of us.
Plan to arrive in time to attend the CI Company Satellite events on Wednesday July 10 starting at 1:00 PM. Stay through Saturday’s presentations because we’ve saved some of the most exciting talks for last.
Here are some highlights you will want to know about to plan your trip:
- Niparko Lecture (Ruth Litovsky PhD): Successful Pathways to Outcomes in Bilateral Cochlear Implantation
- Wide-ranging presentations on Single Sided Deafness and Asymmetric Hearing Loss including a Keynote by Jill Firszt PhD, a panel on unilateral hearing loss, and numerous podium talks
- Sessions highlighting assessment, treatment, and outcomes in patients along the age spectrum
- Auditory Experience within an Early Critical Period with a keynote by Andrej Krai MD/PhD followed by a panel exploring how our society values listening in children with hearing loss and what we can do to improve awareness
- Delivery models for various populations across the globe including disparities and inequities
- Surgical and medical issues including use of robotics
- (Re)Habilitation for children and adults during a robust afternoon session exploring variability in children and building a rehab program for adults
- Pharmacological Therapy including presentations by two scientists involved in gene therapy trials now underway
AND MUCH MORE!
(Re)Habilitation Connect Forum
Building the New
This year’s (Re)Habilitation Connect Forum special session will be a combination of presentations focused on building the new through pediatric habilitation and adult rehabilitation. The Forum will explore variabilities in outcomes for pediatric cochlear implant recipients and possible approaches or intervention strategies to address such, as well as ways to develop and include rehabilitation in adult cochlear implant programs, the lack of evidence in this area, and how to move the needle in the right direction. As previously promised, all included presentations will be taken directly from the abstract submissions for CI2024. Thanks to every (re)hab-minded professional who submitted. You have made it possible for us to have this robust and engaging learning experience.
Following our afternoon special session, Hearing First has graciously agreed to once again host Continuing the Conversation – a happy hour where the (Re)Habilitation Connect Forum presenters and attendees can interact and delve even deeper into the Forum topics. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
Whether you identify as an educator, a coordinator, a psychologist, a counselor, a speech-language pathologist, a facilitator, an audiologist, an interventionist, a physician, a habilitationist, a rehabilitationist, a philosopher, a gas station attendant or as any person interested in building the new with the children and adults we serve through discussion of research and best practices, we hope you will join us for this exciting (Re)Habilitation Connect Forum in Vancouver.
The (Re)Habilitation Connect Forum will be held Friday July 12 at CI2024 International. This is a full afternoon of presentations and discussion for attendees from across the care continuum regarding CI aftercare.
