Washington, D.C.: American Cochlear Implant Alliance (ACI Alliance) congratulates the student poster winners for CI2025 Boston held last week at the Boston Seaport. The student poster competition was chaired by Meredith Ouellette MS and posters were reviewed by hearing health professionals across the care continuum.
The CI2025 poster winners are:
Kayla Cormier AuD, University of Colorado Boulder
“Auditory Cortical Maturation and Language Development in Children with Hearing Loss: Impact of Additional Disabilities”
Kayla is a PhD student studying neuroplasticity, hearing loss, hearing treatment, and tinnitus. She hopes to work in academia after her graduation.
Madeleine M. Beyer BM, CUNY Graduate Center
“Stereo Music Spatialization in Cochlear Implant Users”
Madeleine is a fourth-year audiology student currently completing an externship at the NYU Langone Cochlear Implant Center.
Tiffany Husman BS, University of California San Francisco
“Cochlear Implantation in Adults with Prolonged Single-Sided Deafness”
Tiffany is in her second year of study for her MD at UCSF, and plans to be an ENT when she graduates.
Student participation continues to be an ACI Alliance organizational priority as we work to increase clinical and research involvement in CI, and we look forward to welcoming students to next year’s meeting CI2026 Chicago.
ACI Alliance is a not-for-profit membership organization created with the purpose of eliminating barriers to cochlear implantation by sponsoring research, driving heightened awareness, and advocating for improved access to cochlear implants for patients of all ages across the US.
