Ralph34 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 @Mary Beth Thanks for posting this. Glad to see Western working on these programmes. CIs are great devices but not perfect so more work needs to be done..

Anthony Canada Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 @Mary Beth thanks for the link. This is great news for the people in Ontario. It might eventually reach the rest of Canada but right now this is a Western University (which confusingly is in eastern Canada) and Med-El initiative.

NathalieM Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Thanks for sharing the link @Mary Beth - I had mentioned the research by Dr. Agrawal to my audiologist at length so I was aware of this. @Anthony Canada re: name of the university - totally understandable confusion. I was curious so I googled it: In 2012, the university rebranded itself as "Western University" to give the school less of a regional or even national identity. "We want to be international," president Dr. Amit Chakma told The Globe and Mail.

Anthony Canada Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 @NathalieMdo you know if they approved the use of Otoplan? The last I heard Med-El was hoping for Canadian approval towards the end of this year.

NathalieM Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 @Anthony Canada to be honest, my audi wasn't familiar with platform/software so my guess is it's still in the works? I'll send another nudge to inquire to the surgeon's secretary (I don't have access directly to Dr. Parnes).
