Institute of Sensory Organs was established in 2008 with the main aim of designing, conducting and implementing the research and scientific works in the scope of prophylaxis, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation related to sense organ diseases. Another task realised by the Institute is conducting trainings and workshops. To that aim, the Institute cooperates with the best domestic and international specialists and scientific research units.

The first accomplished project consisted in development, testing and implementation of the Senses Organs Examination Platform software designed to conduct screening trials of hearing, sight and speech in children, youth and persons with particular education needs. Another implemented project was organising training workshops related to the modern otosurgery in the scope of hearing implants.
