The American Cochlear Implant Alliance (ACI Alliance) announced the latest course line-up and speakers for the upcoming Tuesday Talks webinar series, which highlights important information for parents, adults, and others in cochlear implants and related hearing loss topics. 

Tuesday Talks are introduced by Cochlear Implant Consumer Advocacy Network (CI CAN) members who also moderate the Q&A. Presentations take place virtually from 12-1PM EST with an opportunity for attendees to interact with each presenter.
