I firmly believe that children with hearing loss have the ability to learn to use hearing to develop spoken language. I also believe that every child is testable – no matter the age or degree of other disabilities. With proper management, most children with hearing loss can be educated in the mainstream along with their typical hearing peers. I am available for consultations with families that are concerned about management of their child’s hearing loss. I am not currently seeing patients, but I can review evaluations, make recommendations, and communicate with other professionals working with the family. I can make referrals for the diagnosis of hearing loss and auditory therapy, as well as to hearing aid centers and cochlear implant centers. I am also available for talks, workshops, seminars and program consultations. I speak to audiences of parents and/or professionals. After 40 years in practice, I have worked with many, many patients and many, many colleagues.
