Is a Cochlear Implant right for me?
If you have severe to profound hearing loss in both ears, often referred to as "nerve deafness," a cochlear implant may be the solution you have been searching for. A cochlear implant is not a hearing aid, but an implantable hearing solution designed to provide significant improvements in hearing with people who receive limited benefit from hearing aids. With over 140,000 cochlear implant users worldwide, a cochlear implant offers a safe and reliable treatment for severe to profound hearing loss.
Ask yourself the following questions:
When using hearing aids…
- Do you have to ask people to repeat themselves in one-on-one conversations, even in a quiet room?
- Do you depend on lip-reading to understand a conversation?
- Do you avoid social activities because you don't know what's being said and you are afraid you may respond incorrectly?
- Are you exhausted at the end of the day because communication requires such a high degree of concentration?
- Are you having a hard time keeping up at work?
- Is it hard for you to talk on the phone and do you avoid calling or answering the phone?
- Is listening to music no longer fun?
If you answered yes to several of these questions, you may be a good candidate for a cochlear implant.
Becoming a Cochlear Implant user may be easier than you think.
Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants are covered by
most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.
Is a Baha Implant right for me?
Are you deaf in one ear? Do you have malformed ears or chronically draining ears? The Baha system, a direct bone conduction hearing system that uses your body's natural ability to conduct sound, may be the solution you have been looking for. With thousands of recipients worldwide, outcomes with Baha are predictable and well documented.
Ask yourself the following questions:
When using hearing aids…
- Do you have trouble getting sufficient loudness when using hearing aids?
- Do you battle feedback or distorted sound quality?
- Do you have draining ears?
- Do you have malformed ears or ear canals?
- Do you suffer from sore or irritated ears due to your ear molds?
- Can you only hear from one side?
If you answered yes to several of these questions, you may be a good candidate for a Baha system.
Becoming a Baha user may be easier than you think.
Unlike hearing aids, Baha implants are covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.
