How hearing implants help?

Cochlear implants may be a solution if your hearing aids are not helping you understand sounds and speech. They could help you regain your confidence with clearer hearing in social situations, enabling you to connect with friends and family.

How cochlear implants work?

Cochlear implants are designed to bypass the damaged sensory hair cells inside the cochlea, delivering stimulation directly to the auditory nerve. For suitable candidates, this allows sounds to be heard more clearly than with a hearing aid. Cochlear implant may provide access to sounds that previously you could no longer hear.

Do you qualify for a cochlear implant?

Cochlear implants can help people with severe to profound hearing loss, who do not receive enough benefit when using hearing aids. Take a short quiz to know if you qualify
