What technology is available to help deaf patients live healthier lives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cochlear implant: I am familiar with the cochlear nerve implant for deafness. It is important to separate whether deafness preceded or followed hearing; ie from birth or prior to acquiring spoken language or after. The satisfaction of hearing from cochlear implant for native deaf is less than from acquired deafness later in life.
