What is a Cochlear implant?
A Cochlear Implant is a surgically implanted device recommended for a person with moderate to profound hearing loss and poor word understanding. The device essentially replaces the cochlea, which is the organ responsible for hearing, located in the inner ear.
A Cochlear Implant is a great option to consider when hearing aids do not provide the clarity of sound needed to understand speech and spoken language. Communication is needed in every day life, therefore, it is important to maximize a person’s ability to communicate successfully. It is also an option for patients who have tried hearing aids, and found them to be unsuccessful or are still struggling to hear.
