Cochlear Implant Program

Traditional hearing aids are effective for many children with mild to moderate hearing loss, but they may not provide sufficient support for those with severe to profound hearing loss. If a traditional hearing aid is not meeting your patient's needs, they may be a candidate for a cochlear implant.

Children’s Nebraska’s Cochlear Implant Program features a team of pediatric experts with extensive experience in all aspects of cochlear implant care. Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in audiology, speech-language pathology, vestibular audiology, deaf education, ENT medicine and implant audiology. We work together to provide a supportive, comprehensive approach, guiding your patient and their family through every step—from determining if a cochlear implant is the right choice to the implantation surgery and ongoing adjustments.

Pediatric cochlear implants are beneficial for children who experience significant challenges in hearing due to genetic factors or other underlying health issues.

The members of our cochlear implant team are compassionate, experienced professionals. They look forward to providing each child with the best possible therapies for hearing loss, which may include cochlear implants.

Advancements in technology have emerged in recent years that have transformed the way we approach and manage hearing impairments, offering new hope and possibilities. Children’s pediatric experts are now providing cochlear implants as a leading treatment option, ensuring that young patients receive the specialized care they need.
