What is HOPE?
Habilitation Outreach for Educators, Parents and Adults
Our HOPE program was initiated to support the (re)habilitation needs of children and adults with cochlear implants, and the professionals who serve them. HOPE includes a range of training opportunities, print and electronic resources, and practice tools developed especially for each of our audiences. Many HOPE materials are also supportive of Baha recipients.
Cochlear's HOPE Program
Now Available! Sound and WAY Beyond™ - An interactive listening rehabilitation program for adults and teens.
Rehabilitation is critical for an adult to achieve the maximum benefit from a cochlear implant. Auditory training can help in listening situations including using the telephone, enjoying music and understanding speech in noise. Learn more about Sound and WAY Beyond™ (also available for purchase online).
