Cochlear Implant Program

Traditional hearing aids are helpful for many children with mild or moderate hearing loss, but it’s not always enough for children with severe to profound hearing loss. If a traditional hearing aid is not giving your child the help they need, your child may be eligible for a cochlear implant.
