What picture do you have framed on your desk to help remind you not to make assumptions about patients?  Listen as Dr. Ted McRackan talks real-life outcomes of patients with CI, and dives headfirst into the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life Profile (CIQOL) framework. He relays challenges in connecting test results with a patient's perceived real-world function, and shares insight into how providers can use this type of data during discussions of expectations with potential CI users and throughout a CI patient's care. 

Ted R. McRackan, M.D., is the director of the Skull Base Center in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at MUSC.
