About this Event
Welcome to the 8th Annual Sound Support Conference!
Date: May 9, 2025
Location: 2800 Plymouth Rd Building 18, Dining Hall, Ann Arbor MI, 48109
Please join us for the 8th Annual Sound Support Conference! We are excited to welcome our Keynote Speakers, Lisa Park, AuD, and Sandra Hancock.
This year, our featured speakers will be discussing single-sided deafness (SSD). Outcomes for children with single-sided deafness who use a cochlear implant (CI) vary widely, and working with the out-of-the-ordinary patient population can get confusing. Therapy may be helpful but how do we keep the better ear out of the picture, or should we? What about audiology, how do we test them and program them? In this interactive session, we'll discuss these topics and more!
Additional presentations will explore challenging cases for group discussion, followed by an interactive game to conclude the day.
