We know that the more a child hears, the quicker and better he will talk.  We believe that optimal access to sound has a huge impact in terms of rate of progress in children. The Moog Center has three pediatric audiologists on staff to serve the families and children in our Family School and School as well as alumni who continue to receive services from the Moog Center.  Their experience and talent in working with infants and toddlers is a major factor in our children learning faster and talking better.  Our audiologists are skilled in fitting all types of hearing aids on very young children, sometimes as young as a few weeks.  They are also adept at programming cochlear implants, even on very young infants.  They are on-site so they are immediately available for trouble shooting whatever devices the children are wearing.  This has resulted in our children achieving excellent speech perception skills which has contributed to their accelerated learning.

Our audiologists have also participated in research studies designed to evaluate various aspects of cochlear implant performance.
