The Sturbridge Host Hotel is a family friendly
resort, with miniature golf, paddle boat rentals, its own beach right outside on the lake,
as well as a indoor heated pool and Jacuzzi. Many of the rooms overlook or open out
into the pool and atrium area. Others have
balconies overlooking the lake.
The hotel is conveniently located near the
junction of I-90, Mass Turnpike, and I-84
coming from NY through Connecticut. Nearby attractions
include Old Sturbridge Village – a re-creation of a late 1700s and early
1800s New England town.
The Northeast Cochlear Implant
Convention is ...
A unique coming-together of
cochlear implant users, their
parents, grandparents, spouses,
educators, and clinicians that
only happens every-other year.

Northeast Cochlear Implant
Convention
Friday-Sunday July 17-19, 2015
Sturbridge Host Hotel and
Conference Center
Sturbridge, MA
Friday's sessions are geared towards
professionals, particularly those who
work with children with cochlear implants. Saturday and Sunday are of
general interest to people with cochlear
implants and their families, and a great
place to meet others.
Child care and children's programs
keep the kids entertained with fun activities and excursions, letting adults
attend talks or just mingle. There will
also be groups for teens and a special
program for young adults.
You do not need to be a CI recipient to
attend. Everyone is welcome: those
with CIs as well as individuals who use
hearing aids, parents of children who
use hearing aids, and people who don't
use any kind of hearing devices, deaf
and hearing alike.
Children’s Program (Sat & Sun only):
