Cochlear Implant: When hearing aids are not enough

If you or your loved one is struggling to understand speech even with the use of powerful hearing aids, you may be a candidate for a cochlear implant. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted device that consists of an internal and external device that the bypasses the damaged part of the inner ear. The cochlear implant provides a sense of sound to a person with moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss.

There are several factors that go into deciding if a person will be successful with a cochlear implant. These are:

1. How long have you experienced hearing loss?
2. What is the cause of your hearing loss?
3. How motivated you are to learn how to use the cochlear implant?
4. Are you wearing the device full time?
5. Are you participating in auditory training to help learn how to use the device?
