Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin Zhan, MD: What’s Next for Hearing Health? (Part 2)
Q: What would you say is one thing about you that our listeners or those that maybe you work with would be surprised to find out about you?
Dr. Zhan shares a personal hobby history as a photographer, highlighting a well-rounded perspective beyond medicine.
Charles Limb, MD: Is Music the Final Frontier?
Q: What levers can we pull to improve music perception without sacrificing speech performance in CI users?
A multi-pronged approach is needed: refine electrode placement and current delivery, develop sound coding strategies, enhance musical training, and use practical tools like self-guided therapy with a piano keyboard to identify and target individual weak spots in pitch and timbre.
Charles Limb, MD: Is Music the Final Frontier?
Q: Where did your passion for music come from, and why is it central to your work with cochlear implants?
From early childhood I was drawn to music and felt it described and connected me to the world in a way that felt essential, shaping my path toward otology and my interest in how neural processing supports musical perception.
Ivette Cejas, PhD: What's Missing in Translation?
Q: How do you ensure that everybody on the team stays on the same page when working with families?
Regular multidisciplinary meetings (hearing implant and pediatric) with open discussion help align the team; in front of families, the team presents a unified, clear message about next steps even if there are private disagreements.
