If my child has a cochlear implant what can I expect them to achieve?
It is important to remember that all children respond differently to their implants with some achieving greater benefits than others.
With a cochlear implant a child should be able to hear quieter sounds, especially at high frequencies, than with their hearing aids. Therefore we would expect the speech of a child with a cochlear implant to be easier to understand.
Research from the Nottingham Paediatric Cochlear Implant Programme can give you an idea of the range of achievements attained by their children.
