We have recently celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing in Warsaw, Poland and the 15th Anniversary of diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation program of the deaf and hearing impaired. During that time we have provided over 1000 patients with cochlear implants and over 100 patients with other types of implants such as: brainstem, middle ear, BAHA and RetroX. We would like to mention that we have elaborated the first in the world program of treatment of partial deafness in children and adults. Only in 2005, we performed 6.500 otosurgeries which means up to 40 operations per day and consulted 150.000 patients.
