There are many people with hearing loss who are frustrated with their hearing aids because they are not helping them hear enough sounds, or understand speech and conversations. If you have moderate to profound hearing loss, struggle to hear with your hearing aids and are seeking a new solution to help you hear, a cochlear implant may help.
Hearing aids are typically the first step to treating hearing loss, and they are great for someone with a mild to moderate hearing loss who needs sound to be amplified. But as hearing loss progresses, sounds need to be made louder and also clearer. This is where cochlear implants may help.
Cochlear implants can help you pick up the sounds you’re missing, and they are designed to help you hear better and improve speech understanding in everyday situations, including noisy environments.1
If you or your loved one has been using hearing aids for years and you’re frequently returning for adjustments but you still are not hearing fully, it’s time to have your hearing tested by an audiologist who is a hearing implant specialist. They will be able to test you appropriately to see if you qualify for a cochlear implant.
