The physicians at The University of Utah along with the audiologists and scientists comprise the Cochlear Implant team at the University of Utah. The center enjoys a longstanding reputation of excellence in adult and pediatric cochlear implantation. All three manufacturer’s device types are surgically implanted and programmed at the implant center. The implant center at the University of Utah has participated in clinical and basic science research involving cochlear implantation that promote improved performance in cochlear implant use. This research includes:

* Experimental device implantation for programming research
* Percutaneous cochlear implantation
* Adult cochlear implant trials
* Speech processing research to improve speech and music perception
