Knowledge Goes Public - the Conference Continues
Dear Participants of the 1st Monsana Conference and other interested people…
It is my great pleasure to welcome you back to the weblog of the First International Monsana Conference.
The first Monsana Conference is over, but this weblog will continue.
You will find new up-to-date information on topics related to hearing disorders and hearing solutions. You can download presentations held at the St. Petersburg conference, and you can join discussions about selected topics which were covered at the Conference. You also have the possibility to start discussions yourself by placing and presenting your subject of interest in the Forum section. I have introduced the first topic for discussion.
Keep informed about new information placed in this blog by suscribing to the RSS feed for this weblog.
You would like to support our activities and endeavours to inform patients about the medical possibilities in the field of ENT? That is great. Please click here for your Donation.
Yours sincerely Dr. Monika Lehnhardt

Здравствуйте, Моника! Благодарим Вас за прекрасную организацию и проведение конференции. Актуальность и значимость, освещённой на конференции проблемы кохлеарной имплантации,знакомство с мировым опытом - не оценимы. Наша школа в течение 11 лет работает с детьми-носителями импланта. Накоплен определённый практический опыт в работе с детьми в возрасте от 5 до 10 лет. Надеемся на дальнейшее сотрудничество с общественными организациями, как в России, так и за рубежом.
