CIICA CONVERSATION: ADULTS WITH CI: THE IMPACT ON THE FAMILY
TUESDAY 27TH JANUARY 2026: 19.00 UK; 20.00 CET; 14:00 EST; 11:00 PST; 06:00 AEDT; 08:00 NZ
When a person is deaf, there is an impact on the family and often when an adult receives an implant, there is an impact on the family too. This conversation will give an opportunity for family members to contribute too. It will begin with Nikki Philpott sharing the results of her survey of family members, illustrating the impact that deafness and CI had on them.
At our CIICA Conference, Zala Tomasic, MEP, shared her experience as a daughter of a deafened adult who received CI. Whether you are a CI user, family member or professional you will find this conversation interesting – do join us!
