美国人工耳蜗植入联盟（ACI Alliance）成立于2011年底，是一个由人工耳蜗植入临床医生以及科学家、父母、成年消费者和其他支持者组成的非营利组织。自那时以来，该组织已成为一个独特的实体，拥有850多名个人成员和64名组织成员，后者代表大学、医院、诊所和听力损失儿童学校，ACI联盟的使命是通过研究、宣传和提高认识，促进获得人工耳蜗植入术提供的听力礼物。自成立以来，该组织一直倡导改善人工耳蜗植入服务的保险覆盖范围，包括公共和私人保险计划下的康复。2015年发表了一份关于人工耳蜗植入后儿童听力需求的立场文件。启动了一项扩大医疗保险候选人标准的研究，目的是证明老年人受益于与65岁以下者目前适用的候选人标准相当的候选人标准。遍布美国的州冠军网络倡导适当的联邦和州政策。该组织的网站旨在提高初级保健医生、教育工作者和公众对人工耳蜗植入的认识。一系列持续的演讲和出版物旨在提高来自CI领域之外的普通听力学家和助听器分配员对候选人标准和结果的认识。有关计划和成就的更多细节可在www.

The American Cochlear Implant Alliance (ACI Alliance) was incorporated in the late 2011 as a nonprofit organization of cochlear implant clinicians from across the care continuum as well as scientists, parents, adult consumers and other advocates for access. Since that time, the organization has emerged as a unique entity with over 850 individual members and 64 organizational members, the latter representing universities, hospitals, clinics, and schools for children with hearing loss.The mission of the ACI Alliance is to advance access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness. Since its inception, the organization has advocated for improved insurance coverage for cochlear implant services including rehabilitation under public and private insurance programs. A position paper on the habilitation needs of children after cochlear implantation was published in 2015. A research study to expand candidacy criteria under Medicare was initiated with an aim of demonstrating that older adults benefit from having candidacy criteria comparable to that those currently in place for people under age 65. A network of State Champions throughout the United States advocates for appropriate Federal and state policies. The organization’s website is designed to improve knowledge about cochlear implantation among primary care physicians, educators, and the general public. A continuing series of presentations and publications aim to improve awareness among general audiologists and hearing aid dispensers from outside of the CI field regarding candidacy criteria and outcomes.
