Cochlear implants are advanced hearing device that can provide hearing benefits to individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive cochlear implant assessments provided by licensed audiologists with extensive experience in cochlear implant evaluations.
During a cochlear implant assessment, our audiologists will conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient’s hearing ability to determine whether a cochlear implant is an appropriate treatment option. This may include a variety of tests, including pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and middle ear testing.
If a cochlear implant is deemed an appropriate treatment option, our audiologists will work with the patient to determine the appropriate device and program settings. This may involve selecting a cochlear implant system that is compatible with the patient’s hearing needs and lifestyle, as well as programming the device to provide optimal hearing benefits.
We understand that the decision to pursue a cochlear implant can be a complex one, and our audiologists will take the time to thoroughly discuss the risks, benefits, and expectations associated with this treatment option. We also offer follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s progress and make any necessary adjustments to the cochlear implant settings.
It is important to note that cochlear implant assessments are not just for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. Individuals with moderate to severe hearing loss who are not receiving adequate benefit from hearing aids may also be appropriate candidates for a cochlear implant.
