The hearing journey depicted in this content portrays a typical child with severe to profound hearing loss and young parents who have normal hearing. Please note that the individuals shown are actors representing potential real-life situations of a child with hearing loss seeking care from a hearing specialist and a cochlear implant surgeon.
This presentation illustrates various scenarios at home, consultations with an audiologist and an ENT doctor and life as the child grows up with bilateral cochlear implants. It aims to highlight the impact of cochlear implants on the child's experiences at school, in social settings, and with family and friends. While the depictions are based on common experiences, each child's journey with hearing loss is unique, and individual outcomes may vary.
