What is a cochlear implant?
A cochlear implant is an electronic hearing device designed for individuals with significant hearing loss who may not receive enough benefit from traditional hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids, which make sounds louder, a cochlear implant works by directly stimulating the hearing nerve.
How do I know if I might be a candidate for a cochlear implant?
You may benefit from a cochlear implant evaluation if you have moderate to profound hearing loss and continue to struggle with speech understanding even while wearing appropriately fitted hearing aids.
As we prepare to introduce these services, here is what evaluation and ongoing care involve.
What happens during a cochlear implant evaluation?
Your audiologist will review your hearing history, complete comprehensive hearing testing, and evaluate how well you understand speech with your current hearing aids. These results help determine whether a cochlear implant may provide additional benefit.
Do cochlear implants require follow-up care?
Yes. Cochlear implants require ongoing programming, sometimes called mapping, as well as follow-up care to optimize the device for your individual hearing needs.
