The Institute of Clinical Neurophysiology

The Institute of Clinical Neurophysiology at Schneider Children’s annually treats about 6000 children, many who suffer from intermittent hearing problems with about 1,000 diagnosed as hearing impaired requiring intervention. The team excels in conducting electrophysiology tests to asses brain and nerve function. The first cochlear implants were performed in January 2000. In 2010, the Institute introduced implantation of Bone Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHA) in those patients with middle ear hearing loss who have preserved inner ear functions yet are unable to use conventional hearing aids.
