Comprehensive
The Minnesota Lions Hearing Foundation voted in 2004 to commit more than $920,000 over five years to establish the Lions Children's Hearing & ENT Clinic. The first clinic was held in early 2006. At the clinic, a family can see up to six specialty doctors in one setting in one day.Once the child and their family leave the center, our professionals use a team approach to determine what course of treatment will be sought.
Education
The Lions Children's Hearing & ENT Clinic also serves as an educational resource for those who work with hearing-impaired children, and as a research center for pediatric hearing disorders.
