Who may benefit from a hearing implant?

You may want to explore a hearing implant if hearing aids are no longer providing enough clarity or comfort in your daily life. Many people find that as their hearing needs change, a different solution can offer improved outcomes and a better quality of life.

You still struggle to hear clearly with hearing aids

Even with well-fitted devices, speech may remain unclear or muffled.

Conversations are difficult, especially in background noise

You may find it hard to follow conversations in social settings or busy environments.

You have severe, complex or mixed hearing loss

Certain types of hearing loss may not be fully supported by traditional hearing aids.

Hearing aids are uncomfortable or not suitable for your ears

Ongoing discomfort or medical conditions can make wearing hearing aids difficult.

A cochlear implant might be right for you if you struggle to understand speech, even if well-fitted hearing aids. Your audiologist will be able to guide you through whether you may be a candidate.
You’ll meet an implant audiologist who will complete testing, with and without your hearing aids. It will involve listening to sounds and speech. Following this, the results and recommendations will be discussed. You’ll be given an opportunity to ask questions and leave knowing if you’re a candidate and what the next steps look like.
Hearing implant candidacy assessments are provided through Ear Science Implant Clinic at Subiaco. If you have not had a recent hearing test or do not currently use hearing aids, your nearest Lions Hearing Clinic can complete the first assessment and help determine the next step.
