Hello Members! Just curious, have you heard about World Partial Deafness Center (WPDC)?

No?

Okay... here I'm writing what is going on... I'm explaining clearly as only I can...

"Swiatowe Centrum Leczenia Czesciowej Gluchoty" is an original name of World Partial Deafness Center in my native language i.e. polish but differently I would translate it for english language. It would be a full name in free translation that is "World Treatment of Partial Deafness Center".

It suprised me because I don't think that our deafness is a disease just an unfit organ... uhmmm...

So this center is going to open at the end of 2011 in Katejany, Poland.

I'm sticking in the following text from the official website of WPDC.

Prof. Henryk Skarzynski, director and creator of the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing in Warsaw and International Center of Hearing and Speech in Kajetany, is the initiator and organizer of the World Partial Deafness Center. Professor Skarzynski performed the first in the world operation of cochlear implantation in patient who was partially deaf, bringing him back to the world of sounds.

Aims of the World Partial Deafness Center:

* Elaboration of new research projects,
* Coordination of research enterprises within multicenter scientific collaboration,
* Active part of our team and other domestic scientists in development of new technologies, such as new systems of implants of various types,
* Implementation of state of the art technologies into clinical practice in Poland meeting the highest quality standards,
* Dissemination of the newest therapeutical solutions for the polish patients in the first instance,
* Creation of the new image and position of polish science and medicine by means of scientific activity (publications and citations).

Apart from the scientific and implementation issues the range of this new project will involve creation of new didactic and clinical facilities designed specially for educational needs and services for patients to provide the best possible care.

What do you think about that? :roll:
 
You are getting a deaf school? Never had one before?

Looks like it will be more technical. Seems to focus on hearing impaired as opposed to deaf.

Exactly, they think up something new technical... Due to my case (an agenesis of cochlears) they may do that, I hope that they shall not soon
 
I took it to be more of a research institute and/or clinic than a school.

No, to help those who want help hearing. I don't see anything referring to a cure.
