CICADA Queensland is an organisation concerned with helping you make the most of this sound. Contact us to find out how. What is a cochlear implant?
The cochlear implant is designed to bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and send electrical stimulation directly to the auditory nerve, where it is then interpreted as sound by the brain. The device provides the potential for useful hearing sensation and improved communication ability for people who have a severe to profound sensor neural hearing loss. Cochlear implants provide an important option for individuals who receive little or no benefit from a conventional hearing aid. Donations to help CICADA Queensland provide valuable services may be tax deductible.
