What Are Cochlear Implants?
Cochlear implants differ from hearing aids in a few very important ways. For example, the implant itself is a surgically implanted neuroprosthesis that improves one’s ability to better understand the sounds around them, including speech. And while hearing aids simply amplify sounds, a cochlear implant is placed to directly stimulate the auditory nerve. When sound is generated, a signal is sent from the auditory nerve to the brain, which will then sort out that signal to recognize it as a sound. Cochlear implants do not fully restore hearing, but they can help people better recognize the sounds around them.
Our Treatment Process
When you visit Pro Hearing Management for cochlear implants, you’ll have the expertise of our audiologists who will complete an extensive hearing evaluation to determine if you are the right candidate for cochlear implant surgery. They will also collaborate with an otologist (a highly specialized ear, nose, and throat doctor) to ensure you meet the specific health and medical requirement for this procedure.
