This course will be given in collaboration with Professor Thomas Lenarz, Medizinische Hochschule Hanover (MHH), Germany.
Learning Outcomes:
For recipients with low frequency hearing, the preservation of hearing is an important factor in the decision-making process. During this course, where the Nucleus Hybrid L24 cochlear implant will be used, training will consist of both presentations as well as extensive temporal bone drilling by all participants. The course will offer possibilities to share experiences of every aspect of hearing preservation surgery as well. A step-by-step plan of the surgery will be presented and will serve as a guideline for the temporal bone drilling.
At the end of the course, all participants will have received detailed information and hands-on training on how to preserve hearing best when performing a cochlear implantation using the Nucleus Hybrid L24 cochlear implant.
This course will provide information on:
Who should attend: ENT surgeons who have at least one year of personal surgical experience in implanting the Nucleus cochlear implants and who wish to learn more about hearing preservation surgery using the Hybrid L24 cochlear implant.

This course will provide information on:
· How to identify important events, data, etc. from multiple sources
· What investigations may be useful for specific issues
· How a multidisciplinary approach may achieve an optimal resolution
· How complex case management may be incorporated within general CI service planning
Complex cases (meningitis, auditory neuropathy, additional disabilities, deaf-blind, …) will be presented, but participants are encouraged to bring their own complex CI cases to discuss during the workshop.
Who should attend:
Experienced CI professionals and clinicians who work in a multidisciplinary team and who currently have a case with complex needs or who are interested in different approaches to effectively and efficiently manage a challenging caseload.
