“Science is Freedom,” an internet poll, was organised by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education on the 25th anniversary of the demise of communism in Poland.
In his 30 year-long career, Professor Skarżyński has personally operated on more than 150,000 patients with various hearing defects, and implanted hearing aids of different kinds in around 3,000 patients. In 2002, using his method, now called “Skarżyński’s method,” he operated on an adult with partial deafness, and in 2004—on a child with such a hearing defect, the first surgical procedures of that kind to be ever performed anywhere in the world.
