In the out patient clinic,I try to spend time with a family to explain them about the candidacy & outcomes of cochlear implants.
However this article from ASHA summarizes the facts so well & I thought I should share it for everyone's benefit.
It highlights the changes in candidacy over last 2 decades & how over time we are able to understand the speech benefits or limitations of a cochlear implant.
There is so much still to know why the outcomes are variable & researchers working to standardize them.
Just click on the title above -it takes you to the article.
