The world of implantable hearing devices - cochlear implants will be explored. How these technologies work, how they have been able to prevent lifelong deafness in children born without hearing, which adults might be a candidate, and what life is like as a cochlear implant user will be detailed. Drawing on clinical experience and fellowship training in cochlear implants, the presenter will demystify the process of assessment, referral, and post-implant care.
