The event provided trainees with an opportunity for professional development through presentations of research and interactions with fellow researchers, faculty, and outside speakers. We were also joined by Dr. Ryan Branksi from the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery from New York University Grossman School of Medicine and Dr. Anthony Peng from the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus for guest discussions. A big thank you to Dr. Elizabeth Direnzo for hosting and the team of faculty members and administrative staff led by Amy Dao who helped make the event so successful and memorable!
Listen to Me! is a comprehensive training conference for families receiving cochlear implants for their young children. It is a research-based, family centered, supportive program that has been held annually on Stanford’s campus for the last 16 years. In an effort to share this powerful model at a larger scale, we started our first satellite conference in Hawaii in 2022 and are now running the program annually there, in collaboration with local Hawaii professionals. Due to this success, we are currently expanding even further and bringing this program to Kenya in September 2024. The Listen to Me! Conference is funded by gifts from the Baker Institute for Children with Hearing Loss.
Dr. Orloff held another successful Neck Ultrasound course on 6/1/24, with the largest audience to date: 40 live attendees plus 40 physicians from Tanzania who were invited to audit the lectures online.
In collaboration with colleagues from UCSF and UC Irvine, they taught ultrasound skills to attendees from Stanford, UCSF, UCI, UC Davis, Kaiser Northern California, and UCLA. We extend our appreciation to Liz Neri who effectively coordinated the event.

OHNS Clinic Expansion ribbon cutting celebration on June 11, 2024, in Redwood City, CA.
We are delighted to announce the growth of our clinical facilities in Redwood City, a new home for our Laryngology Division, and an expanded home for our Sleep Surgery division. This expansion will not only allow us to see more patients in a beautiful and well-equipped facility with six new exam rooms, but also continue to build on the collocation of our Sleep Surgery with Sleep Medicine. This arrangement is more productive and conducive to collaboration while also being a fitting progression for the Stanford School of Medicine, a pioneer in the fields of Sleep Medicine, Sleep Research, and Sleep Surgery.
