Discussion groups
The discussion groups listed below are designed to help support those who are considering or already have a cochlear implant. The list has been compiled as a service of Cochlear. We do not own or maintain any list other than the Nucleus Forum.
Additional information about each group is usually supplied at the time of joining – keep the subscription information, as you may need it again later if you wish to unsubscribe.
