She can hear us when we call her name! Cochlear implant children can do everything!\n\nJoin us for this webinar on Saturday 9th March 2024 11:00am – 11:45am, which will also include a Q&A session where attendees will be able to ask any questions to Paola, or a clinical specialist.\n \n\n DTSTART:20240309T110000Z DTEND:20240309T114500Z LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
