Hearing loss is a subject encountered daily by many people, but whether at work or in their private lives, some people may not understand how to approach people who use cochlear implants and other hearing devices.

Many of us take music and the benefits it has in our lives for granted.

It can lift mood and alleviate negative emotions such as stress and anxiety. It is therefore important for hearing implant recipients to be able to hear and appreciate music.
Aural rehabilitation is essential after cochlear implantation, but it can also benefit young children with hearing loss while they are still waiting to receive their cochlear implant. Parents and caregivers can use strategies and activities at home to help these babies begin to develop communication skills.
We provide a wide variety of resources for audiologists and speech-language pathologists to assist you in supporting your patients with MED-EL hearing devices on their hearing journey and in achieving their goals and communication potential.
