Deafblindness and Cochlear Implanation

It limits the activities of a person and restricts their full participation in society to such a degree that society is required to faciliate specific services, environmental alterations and/or technology. The introduction of cochlear implants has dramatically changed the outlook for children and adults with deafblindness. Deafblindness is a very hetrerogeneous group of disorders, ranging from congenital deafblindness with additional dysfunctions, to acquired restrictions of vision and hearing.
