Children may be referred for a cochlear implant at any age. When a child is assessed for a cochlear implant we look at their hearing levels and the progress they are making with their hearing aids. We will tailor our appointments depending on the age and stage of your child. If your child receives an implant we will continue to provide support that meets your family's specific needs as your child grows and develops. Explore the sections below to find out more.
