Why would my child need a cochlear implant?
A cochlear implant is for severe to profoundly deaf children and adults who only get little or no help from hearing aids. Many children cannot learn spoken language in a natural way through hearing aids; a cochlear implant may help them hear speech. Children with cochlear implants behave like a child with a mild loss of hearing, many can understand speech without lip-reading and some can even use a telephone.
