Summary of the year 2018
Life and work have kept us exceptionally busy – so busy that it was only this year that we realized we have been breaking with this tradition for far too long. Here it comes, then, – our review of the previous year. We have lot to share, a lot to be thankful for and, unfortunately, a few losses to grieve. The cumulative number of protegees of the Lehnhardt Foundation reached 160 this year. Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Germany and Italy were only some of the countries we visited for personal and work travel. We hope that in the process of doing so we have been able to lay the groundwork of changes for the better that are needed by deaf people in certain countries – and globally.
Welcome to our summary of the year 2018!
Yours truly,
Dr. Dr. h. c. Monika Lehnhardt

Musical events shaped 2013.

Upgrade, for sure, but when?
Rachel Chaikof published a very interesting article about the release of new speech processors of all Cochlear Implant manufacturers in the very near future in her weblog “Cochlear Implant Online” and discusses arguments why to wait or not to wait.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! Monika & Michael |
Das Jahr 2012 hat es gut mit uns gemeint. Der Sieg, den ich in meinem Kampf gegen die tückische Krankheit im Jahr 2011 errungen habe, ist nachhaltig. Dieser glückliche Umstand gab uns den Freiraum ohne Einschränkungen zu planen – beruflich und privat – und unsere Ideen und Vorstellungen weitgehend umzusetzen.
Der fulminante Auftakt war das für uns nun schon zur Tradition gewordene Neujahrskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker im berühmten Musikvereinssaal in Wien.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! Monika & Michael |
The year 2012 has meant it well with us. The victory in my fight against the malicious disease in 2011 is sustained. This lucky circumstance gave us free space to plan our private and our professional life without any serious limitations and to implement our ideas and concepts.
The brilliant start was again, by now already a tradition for us, the New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in the famous Musikvereinssaal in Vienna.
