Is it time to be referred for evaluation by a cochlear implantation team?

 

The best way to know whether an implantable device may be better suited for your hearing needs is to be evaluated by a team that specialises in cochlear implantation. If the cochlear implant team determines that an implant may be a good option for you, you can then decide whether or not you are ready for the intervention.

If you identify with most of the indicators on this poster, you can contact a cochlear implant clinic directly or discuss this further with your audiologist.

Your audiologist can print a referral form here. You can then bring the completed form with you when you meet the cochlear implant team.
