Dr. John Niparko, Director

We have sought to develop the resources needed to provide our patients with optimal access to sound and spoken language. The center also serves as a major research and training center for medical and educational professionals working with individuals with hearing loss.

The combined background of the faculty of The Listening Center represents decades of experience in a variety of disciplines. Our backgrounds range from education to engineering, audiology to ear surgery, speech and language pathology to psychology and imaging technology to cellular biology. As a team, our faculty share a commitment to providing a comprehensive network of services to help each of our patients use their cochlear implant to its greatest potential.
