Overview
People with severe hearing loss in just one ear may now be eligible to receive cochlear implants. These surgically implanted devices not only improve a person ’s overall hearing, but also boost their speech understanding as well as their ability to identify a sound’s source and proximity. People with this or any kind of hearing loss have better outcomes the earlier they receive an implant.
