Very proud of this work by our research team @MUSC_OTOHNS

A family that fled Ukraine last year found more than a safe refuge in the US. @tmcrackan @MedUnivSC provided a 2-year old child w/ a #cochlearimplant and saw a positive outcome upon activation. Thank you @CBSNews for this sensitively presented story. acialliance.org/page/awarene…
