There are some who have hearing loss so severe, even hearing aids cannot provide them with appropriate audibility or improvement in communication. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted device that, through electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve, provides a person who has poor performance with hearing aids, sound perception and an opportunity to improved speech understanding in both quiet and noisy environments.
In partnership with neurotologists at UConn Health – Farmington, we currently implant and program Cochlear Americas cochlear implants.
A cochlear implant evaluation would need to be completed to determine if you are a candidate. Please call the front desk at (860) 486-2629.
