When, Where, What
We meet six times a year on Saturdays from 2 to 4pm or 2:30 to 4:30pm. The meeting location alternates between Glen Ellyn and Morton Grove. Both locations are fully accessible and parking is free.
Glen Ellyn meetings are held at the College of DuPage. Building K, Room 161, 425 Fawell Blvd. MAP
Morton Grove meetings are held at Morton Grove Park District's Prairie View Center, 6834 Waukegan Rd. The address is confusing as the entrance is actually one block east of Waukegan on Dempster St. Turn North on New England St. It's location 11 on this MAP.
Our speakers are frequently representatives from cochlear implant manufacturers and researchers. We also invite surgeons, audiologists and other members of implant teams from local medical centers.
We encourage people with implants, those who are thinking about getting one, and their families/support persons to attend our meetings. New faces are always welcome!
