A member asked:
Docs, wanted to know if i can get the cochlear implants if 100% deaf in both ears and don't usually wear hearing aids everyday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cochlear Implants: You may be a candidate for cochlear implants. You would need to be evaluated by an implant center which would include hearing/speech evaluations. Additionally you would need to wear hearing aids for 3 months as part of the process. Medical evaluations would then be completed, including an MRI or CT of your ears.
