Deep dives
Cochlear Implants and Hearing Loss
Cochlear implants can be life-changing for people with hearing loss. The technology has advanced significantly, allowing implants to be provided to children as young as six months, ensuring they develop language skills equivalent to their hearing peers. However, only around 10% of eligible adults receive cochlear implants, and efforts are being made to increase awareness and access for this group. Research suggests that cochlear implants may also contribute to reducing cognitive decline. Ongoing advancements in technology aim to improve the sound quality and streamline the implants further.
