When to consider a hearing implant for your child

If you think or know your child has hearing loss, it can be a scary and confusing time. But, it's important to know you are not alone. Up to five out of every 1,000 babies are born with hearing loss or lose their hearing soon after birth.¹ If your child is one of them, there is hope.

With the right technology and a little bit of hard work, your child has the potential to listen and speak just like anyone else their age. If you think hearing aids may not be providing enough benefit for your child, it’s important to consider a hearing implant sooner rather than later.

At Cochlear, we understand and appreciate the roles of your child's care team and take a team approach when developing products and services that are designed to provide your child's best hearing today and always. Together we reach further through partnership with greater progress and possibilities.
