Cochlear Implants
The human ear consists of three parts that play a vital role in hearing: The outer, middle, and inner ear. For more information about the process of human hearing, click here.
What is a Cochlear Implant?
Audiologic and Medical Criteria
Once a patient’s case has been approved by an audiologist, the next step is a visit with our cochlear implant surgeon. The surgeon reviews the audiology team’s testing, recommendations and will discuss the surgery itself.
Surgery
Two-three weeks after surgery, you will have a post-operative evaluation with your surgeon to ensure things are healing well. Once you are cleared by your surgeon you will meet with the audiologist for initial activation and programming of the cochlear implant.
