Cochlear Implants near Mobile, AL

Less than 6 percent of Americans who could benefit from a cochlear implant actually have one. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 188,000 people worldwide have received cochlear implants. In the United States, approximately 41,000 adults and 26,000 children currently use them. Cochlear implants can be life-changing for adults and children with significant hearing loss or profound deafness.

At Nautilus Hearing in Spanish Fort, we help patients throughout Daphne, Malbis, and nearby areas explore whether cochlear implants could be the right solution. Adults who lose their hearing later in life often respond well to implants, as they’re able to connect the new sounds with what they remember from before their hearing loss. With the right therapy, many are able to understand speech again and regain confidence in communication.

Even very young children who experience severe hearing loss before developing language skills can learn to understand and use speech after receiving an implant along with specialized therapy.

The FDA has established a clear set of guidelines for determining who is a good candidate. If you or a loved one are considering this option, the first step is a comprehensive hearing evaluation.
