DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 12th Symposium on Cochlear Implants in Children will offer opportunities for the dissemination and sharing of knowledge that are unique when compared to the other meetings listed. The symposia will offer a clear focus on pediatric cochlear implants with significant attendance expected by North Americans from all disciplines involved with pediatric cochlear implant research, development, and clinical care. The program will emphasize areas identified as being of high interest and relevance in the field. The invited speakers will introduce topics in implantation of the very young child, bilateral implantation in children, and neural preservation/residual hearing in children. These topics which will be further deliberated in panels and free paper and poster presentations. The thirteen invited speakers chosen for this symposium will bring fresh ideas into the pediatric cochlear implant arena in the United States in the hope of stimulating innovative thinking by professionals in audiology, speech/language pathology, surgery/medicine, education, engineering and from industry representatives. A second aim will be to encourage deeper deliberation not only on key issues targeted in this symposium but on topics in the full spectrum of pediatric cochlear implantation and related areas. Oral presentations and poster sessions will present current research over a very broad range of topics including medicine/surgery, education, aural habilitation, speech and language development, the impact of early intervention, clinical viability and patient access, auditory neuroscience, engineering, and pertinent pharmacology. The three areas of emphasis (implantation in the very young child, bilateral implantation, and residual hearing/neural preservation) were chosen based on issues receiving prominent attention in the current literature and based upon a survey of selected leaders in the field of pediatric cochlear implantation. One additional invited speaker will be funded to address recent advances in medical genetics. His lecture will not be included in the morning invited speaker sessions but will be featured in an afternoon session devoted to genetics. This lecture will be done on Thursday since it fits in the theme of the diagnosis of very young children. These topics were determined to be areas of undisputed clinical importance. Increased opportunities for presenting data from eighteen students will be aided by the funds requested in this proposal to provide travel and lodging. Meeting fees will be waived for students and invited speakers. One American speaker, who will be flown in from her sabbatical in New Zealand for this symposium (Christine Yoshinaga-Itano, Ph.D.), will also be aided by the requested funds for foreign travel. Seattle offers a preferred venue with easy airport and rail access to delegates from the United States. The principle goal of this symposium will be to provide an environment to discuss current research on the complex issues specific to cochlear implants in the pediatric population in order to provide direction for future research, education, clinical care, and technological development. A wide range of basic scientists and clinicians will contribute to planned sessions of submitted talks and poster sessions.

描述（由申请人提供）：第十二届儿童人工耳蜗研讨会将提供传播和分享知识的机会，与其他会议相比，这是独一无二的。该研讨会将明确关注儿童人工耳蜗，预计将有来自北美所有涉及儿童人工耳蜗研究、开发和临床护理的学科的大量与会者。该计划将强调被确定为在该领域具有高度兴趣和相关性的领域。特邀演讲者将介绍幼儿植入术、儿童双侧植入术和儿童神经保护/残余听力。这些主题将在小组讨论、免费论文和海报展示中进一步讨论。本次研讨会的13位特邀演讲者将为美国儿童人工耳蜗领域带来新鲜的想法，希望能激发听力学、言语/语言病理学、外科/医学、教育、工程和行业代表的创新思维。第二个目标将是鼓励更深入的审议，不仅在本次研讨会的关键问题，而且在儿童人工耳蜗植入和相关领域的全谱主题。口头报告和海报会议将介绍当前的研究在非常广泛的主题，包括医学/外科，教育，听觉康复，言语和语言发展，早期干预的影响，临床生存能力和患者访问，听觉神经科学，工程和相关药理学。三个重点领域（幼童人工耳蜗植入、双侧人工耳蜗植入和残余听力/神经保护）的选择是基于当前文献中受到突出关注的问题，并基于对儿科人工耳蜗植入领域选定领导者的调查。另外一名受邀演讲者将获得资助，阐述医学遗传学的最新进展。他的演讲不会出现在上午的特邀演讲环节，但会出现在下午的基因学专题演讲环节。这堂课将在周四结束因为它符合幼儿诊断的主题。这些主题被确定为具有无可争议的临床重要性的领域。本提案所要求的旅费和住宿费将有助于增加18名学生提交数据的机会。学生及特邀讲者可获豁免会议费用。一位在新西兰休假的美国演讲者（Christine Yoshinaga-Itano博士）也将得到请求的国外旅行基金的资助。西雅图是美国代表的首选地点，机场和铁路都很方便。本次研讨会的主要目标是提供一个环境来讨论当前关于儿童人工耳蜗植入的复杂问题，以便为未来的研究、教育、临床护理和技术发展提供方向。广泛的基础科学家和临床医生将为提交的会谈和海报会议的计划会议做出贡献。
