Hear with Both Ears | 27 June 2022

If you are considering a second side hearing implant, we invite you to join us for our next support & information session.

Ronel Chester-Browne, Senior Implant Audiologist, will talk about the benefits and what you can expect from a second side implant, and she will be available to answer all your questions.

Ronel will be joined by two special guests, Jody French and Peter Woodhead, who will share their experiences of living with bilateral cochlear implants.
Join us for this informal session to learn more about how you can improve your hearing and understand conversations with more clarity.

Benefits of Bilateral Cochlear Implantation

Research suggests that compared with unilateral cochlear implantation, bilateral cochlear implantation improved sound localisation, speech perception in noise, and subjective benefits of hearing in adults and children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss.

While bilateral cochlear implantation is more expensive it is more effective than unilateral cochlear implantation. Compared with one implant, using two implants can reduce listening effort and can improve awareness of sounds around you, which can be an important safety consideration (Ontario Health Technology Assessment Series 2018).
