The Future of Hearing Solutions

 

Hearing Innovations is dedicated to helping people with hearing loss find the right solution throughout their hearing journey. One of the most innovative and effective solutions for severe hearing loss is a cochlear implant.

Cochlear implants are a unique type of hearing device that can restore hearing by directly stimulating the auditory nerve. Many clinics only offer hearing aid solutions, however Hearing Innovations offers cochlear implants when hearing aids are no longer enough.

If you or a loved one is struggling with severe hearing loss and their hearing aids, cochlear implants may be the right solution for you.


What are Cochlear Implants?

 

Cochlear implants are electronic devices that are surgically implanted in the ear.

They work by directly stimulating the auditory nerve, bypassing damaged parts of the ear and allowing individuals with severe hearing loss to hear sound again. Unlike traditional hearing aids, which simply amplify sound, cochlear implants provide a sense of sound by directly stimulating the auditory nerve.


Who Can Benefit from Cochlear Implants?

 

Cochlear implants are designed for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss who are unable to benefit from traditional hearing aids. They can be used by individuals of all ages, including children and older adults. If you have been told that you have severe hearing loss and traditional hearing aids are not helping, cochlear implants may be the right solution for you.


How does a Cochlear Implant work?

 

How Does the Procedure Work?

 

The cochlear implant procedure is a two-part process.

  1. The first part involves a surgical implantation of the device, which is performed by a qualified surgeon.

  2. The second part involves the activation and programming of the device, which is performed by a qualified audiologist.

The entire process typically takes several months and requires close collaboration between the surgeon, audiologist, and the patient. The audiologists at Hearing Innovations will support you throughout the journey and rehabilitation process.


What Are the Benefits of Cochlear Implants?

 

Cochlear implants offer many benefits over traditional hearing aids, including:

Improved hearing: Cochlear implants can provide a sense of sound for individuals with severe hearing loss who are unable to benefit from traditional hearing aids.

Improved quality of life: With the ability to hear sound again, individuals with cochlear implants can enjoy a better quality of life, including improved communication and increased independence.

Improved communication: Cochlear implants can help individuals with hearing loss understand speech better, improving communication with friends, family, and colleagues.

Improved self-esteem: With improved hearing, individuals with cochlear implants often experience improved self-esteem, as they are better able to participate in social activities and connect with others.


Did you know, cochlear implants may help when hearing aids are no longer enough?

 

The online Hearing Aid Check is simple, free, and can be taken from the comfort of your home.

It will compare your performance with hearing aids to people with cochlear implants. The results will reveal if you should consider other options for better hearing.
