About Us

About Us - Betty Loy, Au. D.

Collaborative programs within the University of Texas system are creating the future by joining resources today. The Dallas Cochlear Implant Program is one such enterprise of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, The University of Texas at Dallas, and Children's Medical Center.

The Dallas Cochlear Implant Program brings together knowledge, discipline and service focused toward a singular vision of Cochlear Implant advancement. Through research, education and patient services the program offers a broad scope of endeavor driven and enhanced by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, audiologists, speech pathologists, psychologists, educators and other professional researchers.

In all our work we strive to be family-centered, culturally sensitive, multidisciplinary, coordinated and focused on outcomes. Our patient care services for adults and children recognize that the family is the constant in the implant recipient's life, therefore, the family is the most important member of our team. Our educational programs and services understand the need to be flexible, accessible and responsive to students and family needs. Our researchers are held to the highest standards not only by their financial sponsors but by their own sense of responsibility and caring. If you read our mission statement please notice the last sentence: our work is dedicated to improving the quality of life for the people we serve. This dedication is sincerely felt by all of us, physicians, nurses, clinicians, educators and researchers.
