Many people with profound sensorineural hearing loss have some remaining auditory nerve fibers. Individuals can be tested to find out if these nerve fibers still function. If they do, the individual may be considered a candidate for a Cochlear Implant. Adults of all ages benefit from Cochlear Implants. These include people who lost there hearing early in life and have had a hearing impairment for a long time.
General Criteria for Cochlear Implants:
• A profound to total hearing loss,
• An inability to hear or recognize speech through hearing aids
• A belief that being able to hear will help the individual be more active and in dependent and enjoy life more
