Houston Ear Research Foundation

Jan Gilden, Executive Director of Houston Ear Research Foundation, was our guest speaker this week.

Houston Ear Research Foundation was incorporated in August, 1983 as a center to provide excellence in service dedicated to the cochlear implant. Sometimes referred to as an "electronic ear", a cochlear implant enables a deaf or severely-to- profoundly hearing impaired individual to hear sound. The cochlear implant is a surgical procedure to help those hearing impaired individuals who are not able to benefit from hearing aids, due to the severity of their hearing losses. It helps to restore some auditory sensation.
