MCICE provides the people of Maryland with premier clinical services in the area of cochlear implants, improving their health and opportunities for engagement and communication, while also providing the students in the state with unparalleled opportunities to learn about both the science of cochlear implants and how to provide clinical services to implantees. Furthermore, MCICE provides the nation with new research findings that enhance our understanding of how best to improve human hearing.
