Cochlear Implant Programme
The Manchester Adolescent Cochlear Implant programme provides support to young
people aged 10-18. It was set up in 1997, to give young people one-to-one help
and support so they can get the most benefit from a cochlear implant.
For some people with hearing difficulties, even the strongest hearing aid
cannot provide enough sound information. A cochlear implant is a special kind
of hearing aid. Its job is to do the work of the hair cells in the cochlea,
which are not working properly, by sending the sound message to the auditory
nerve.
The specialists on the programme team provide assessment and information for
patients who were born with or developed profound hearing loss, have some
spoken language but do not benefit from conventional hearing aids.
The cochlear implant team will offer you a cochlear implant if they believe
that:
It would give you the ability to hear more speech sounds than you can with a
hearing aid
You would be able to use the extra sound to understand spoken language better
Using the implant would be likely to improve your quality of life
You and your family will make the final decision whether or not to go ahead
with the cochlear implant, if it is offered to you.
All patients see the consultants at Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI). If you
are under 16, the operation takes place at the Royal Manchester Children's
Hospital. If you are over 16, you have the surgery at MRI.
Following the operation to put the implant in place, we provide support to you
and your family to programme the speech processor and help improve and develop
listening skills with the new system. We also offer support if you have
received your implant at a younger age, but would benefit from help and advice
to meet your changing needs as you get older.
