If your are curious about cochlear implants and want to learn more, or if you wonder if you are a potential cochlear implant (CI) candidate, there is a Cochlear Implant Symposium on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at the Vinnings Healthpark from 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., presented by Wellstar.

Dr. Vaught ran into Representative Hank Johnson (GA-D) at baggage claim in D.C. last Wednesday, after noticing earlier they were on the same flight from Atlanta. Since Dr. Vaught was in D.C. with the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) to lobby for the Medicare Audiology Access Improvement Act (H.R.2757/S.1996) he took the opportunity to start lobbying a day early and took a few minutes to introduce himself and the legislation to Representative Johnson. Amy Black, with Black and Black Surgical, saw the encounter and took some pics!

Ironically Representative Johnson and Dr. Vaught were on the same flight home today! Dr. Vaught spoke briefly again to Representative Johnson who had a couple of questions about the legislation.

Hopefully he will take a deeper look at the and perhaps will become a cosponsor!
