Full Description

Cochlear implants continue to change the lives of children and adults with severe or profound hearing loss. This book explains, in a simple and accessible style, the manner in which cochlear implants work, for whom they work, and the extent to which they help deaf people hear. The author tells the story of her own experience with the implant procedure, along with its advantages and benefits.

Comprehensively explaining the basic concept, history, and evolution of cochlear implants, the book includes questionnaire responses, case studies, and general information--all provided by foremost clinicians in the field--that provide a full picture of how implant recipients and their families feel about the procedure.
