A cochlear implant is a type of hearing device that is surgically implanted. It stimulates the hearing nerve directly and helps some children with severe or profound hearing loss access sound.
A specialist team assesses whether a cochlear implant is right for each child. This may include children born with hearing loss or those who lose hearing later.
Speech and language therapists help children with cochlear implants develop listening and communication skills. Some use specialist approaches such as Auditory Verbal Therapy.
