Advice from Dr. Wexler: 

"For Pediatrics I advise parents to 'name' everything in the environment for their child whether it is a sound or an object. The parent should always be talking as their child is developing speech and language. For Adults: They need to wear their processors at least 10 hours a day and be exposed to speech. They can listen to the news, podcasts, books on tape. They need to be exposed to speech."

"My name is Dr. Tanya Linzalone and I am the senior audiologist at Mill Neck School for the Deaf for over 20 years. I started my career path over 35 years ago when hearing aid technology was very basic and Cochlear Implants were emerging as a hearing option for individuals with a profound hearing loss. I would never imagine that the Cochlear Implant and hearing aid technology would be at the sophisticated level it is today! It’s truly miraculous!! 

My area of expertise is pediatrics and dealing with the emotional roller coaster of emotions from family members while making a life changing decision to implant their child. My role is to guide the family with knowledge and insight on the potential that the Cochlear Implant surgery will have on their child’s hearing and how it will impact their educational, social and emotional development. 

If anyone is interested in learning more about this breakthrough in technology or has any questions regarding hearing loss of any degree, I can be reached by email at Tanya.Linzalone@millneck.org or by phone at 516-628-4227." Click the button below to reach Dr. Tanya Linzalone by email!
