Audiology specialist calls in at Yorkshire centre
Tuesday 6th July 2010
A globally-renowned audiology specialist has called in at a centre in the north of England.
Yesterday (July 5th), Ingeborg Hochmair toured the Yorkshire Cochlear Implant Service (YCIS) at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
The expert, who works for the hearing implant company MED-EL, attended a presentation of the Bradford HeaRRing Group.
Commenting on her visit, ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist Chris Raine said workers at the institution were "delighted".
He added: "In medicine and in particular among ENT professionals, Inge has been an enormous driving force in the world of cochlear implantation and is one of the main world developers of hearing implant systems."
Established in 1990, the YCIS has developed a nationally-recognised programme for assessing children and adults with severe to profound hearing loss.
It claims to have successfully completed over 550 adult and paediatric cochlear implants to date and notes it intends to expand its offerings to support patients requiring other implantable devices.
