Got My Cochlear Implant and Want to Stay on AD, Uncle Sam May I? Two Years Later

Capt Jennifer Tay

We first presented a controversial case study on the first-ever active duty cochlear implant recipient at MASC 2002. It was the first active duty member to receive a cochlear implant following a sudden hearing loss. This is a two-year update on the landmark case. A review of the initial case will be presented, along with a discussion of the patient’s current status and outlook.
