Ask The Expert - Question 16

 
 

What is a cochlear implant, can I get one instead of a hearing aid?

 

 
  A cochlear implant is a device that is surgically implanted and it functions as a replacement for a deaf or very hard of hearing ear. They are generally recommended once a hearing aid no longer helps. Very often, even after surgery, adults wear a cochlear implant in one ear and a traditional hearing aid in the other.
