Learn something new every month!
From September to April, the Cochlear Center presents monthly speakers with expertise in a variety of topics around sensory function, aging, and public health.
Generally, seminars are held the fourth Thursday of each month. There is no December seminar. Seminars are free and open to the public, and most are recorded for future viewing.
Seminars begin at 12:15 pm. Join in person in Baetjer Hall (W1030) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 615 N Wolfe St, Baltimore, Maryland. There is usually a Zoom webinar option. We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals to engage and participate fully. CART services will be provided. Laptops are welcome at Cochlear Center events, and tables will be available. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact Mindy Dmuchowski at JHCochlearCenter@jhu.edu.
