Medical Considerations in the Management of Pediatric Hearing Loss
The management of pediatric sensorineural hearing loss requires a coordinated team approach between a diverse group of professionals. These include audiologists, speech & language pathologists, early intervention specialists, physicians, educators, and many others. While the approaches and the details of the clinical algorithm vary dramatically across the country, the managing physician often plays a central role.
The present workshop aims at detailing the physician’s perspective of the team approach by discussing various clinical scenarios applying the JCIH guidelines. This seems especially pertinent given the diverse clinical population served by hearing loss professionals.
We also plan to detail imaging, surgical aspects in the management of pediatric hearing loss, established and new trends in cochlear implantation, and alternative technology.
- To detail the medical, family centered model for the management of pediatric hearing loss
- To review the medical work-up for pediatric hearing loss
- To review medical interventions for pediatric hearing loss
