FAQs
How do I know my child is suitable for a cochlear implant?
It can sometimes take several months to fully establish a very young child’s audiological profile to show that they are achieving limited benefit from their hearing aids. However, if you think your child’s hearing falls within the limits of the audiological criteria for cochlear implantation, you should talk to your Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) Consultant and discuss a referral to your nearest Cochlear Implant Centre.
If your child is older and you feel they are not progressing well with their hearing aids or that their hearing is deteriorating, again you should discuss a referral to your local Cochlear Implant Centre with your ENT Consultant.
