The Journey from Hearing Aids to Cochlear Implants Presentation

We had a wonderful presentation by Rebecca Lewis, Au.D., who shared the journey from considering a cochlear implant to implementation. It covered key topics such as how cochlear implants work, who may be a candidate, when to consider an evaluation, and the importance of early intervention. After viewing, you will have a better understanding of the technology and how it bypasses damaged parts of the ear to directly stimulate the auditory nerve.

The presentation also addressed setting realistic expectations, what to expect on activation day, and the critical role of follow-up care, including auditory therapy and mapping sessions. Whether you’re just beginning to explore cochlear implants or are ready to take the next step, this presentation offers valuable insights, answers to common questions, and support from those who have experienced the process firsthand.
