International Pediatric Conference in Chicago; “Comparing Speech Perception
Abilities of Children with Cochlear Implants or Digital Aids” at the
Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
conference in Anaheim, California, and “ Speech Perception in Children with
Cochlear Implants and Digital Hearing Aids” at the VIII International
Cochlear Implant Conference, Indianapolis, Indiana.
