Cochlear Implant Program
Nearly 3,000 Rhode Island adults have hearing loss so severe that the most powerful hearing aids on the market can’t help them.
Traditional cochlear implants are designed for patients whose hearing loss is so severe that they receive little to no benefit from hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sound, cochlear implants directly stimulate the auditory nerves and interpret sounds that hearing aids cannot detect. Cochlear implants improve hearing ability for both adults and children who have profound hearing loss.
