Cochlear Implants

Regain your sense of sound and reconnect with the world through expert cochlear implant care.

Understanding Cochlear Implants

Cochlear implants are advanced medical devices that have been designed to help individuals with severe/profound hearing loss regain access to sound. Unlike hearing aids, which just amplify sound, cochlear implants bypass the damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. This technology is innovative and has managed to transform the lives of multiple people. The use of the cochlear implants has allowed them to communicate more effectively and enjoy everyday sounds.

Why Cochlear Implants Matter

Hearing loss may significantly impact the quality of life because it affects your relationships, the ability to communicate effectively, and your overall well-being. Studies have highlighted the connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline, including those from Lancet Health and Achieve Healthy Aging. This is particularly true for aging populations. Addressing hearing impairment with cochlear implants can help some maintain cognitive health while improving daily interactions.

Our Cochlear Implant Care Services

Here at Ohio Audiology Associates, we provide comprehensive cochlear implant services that ensure expert care at each stage of the process. Our services include:

Our highly skilled audiologists conduct thorough evaluations to determine if a cochlear implant is actually the right option for your situation and whether you are a candidate based on insurance requirements. We will collaborate with The University Hospital Otolaryngology Department to make sure you receive the highest quality of care. During your evaluation, our specialist will carefully review your medical history, discuss any hearing challenges, and then conduct a series of tests to assess your current hearing ability. Once they understand your unique hearing profile, the best course of action can be determined.

Once the surgery is complete and you have healed our audiologists will conduct a series of programming sessions. This is to initiate the processor and fine-tune your implant’s settings. The adjustments are important in helping your brain adapt to the new manner of processing sound as you continue to wear the device. Our team gladly provides ongoing rehabilitation support, including auditory training exercises and follow-up to track your progress, as well as help you to coordinate with CochlEAR support team members. We just want to help.

Implementation is not the end of your hearing journey. Our team offers continuous troubleshooting, maintenance, and support to keep your device functioning at its best. We offer regular check-ups, software updates, and assistance to ensure that your implant remains working at its best. We are here to answer any questions or concerns or offer replacement parts as needed. You deserve peace of mind.
