Join me for an interview with Donna Sorkin, the executive director of the American Cochlear Implant Alliance, a national organization devoted to expanding access to cochlear implantation for all who may benefit. She has had a long career in advocacy for people with hearing loss at for-profit and non-profit entities. She has had a cochlear implant for over 30 years and brings her personal experience and enthusiasm to her work in the field.
She was previously executive director of two organizations: the Hearing Loss Association of America (an organization for adults) and the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (with a focus on children). Ms. Sorkin served for 11 years as Vice President, Consumer Affairs at Cochlear Americas. She led public policy initiatives and other activities aimed at the broad life needs of cochlear implant users, including insurance coverage and habilitation for children and adults, and educational needs of children with cochlear implants. She has served on federal, corporate and university boards including the U.S. Access Board (as a Presidential appointee) and the National Institute on Deafness (National Institutes of Health) Advisory Board. She holds a Master in Public Policy from the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
