Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence's Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) specialists have been performing pediatric cochlear implant procedures for more than five years. Last year, they added an adult cochlear implant program.
“With years of experience at Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), our team was confident in expanding our program so adults didn’t need to travel as far for the life-changing procedure,” says ENT specialist Sri Chennupati, MD, with LVHN.
Since the program began, the number of cochlear implant procedures performed at LVHN has tripled, with LVHN experiencing the most growth of any cochlear implant center in the country last year, Chennupati says.
