Hearing Implant Clinical Services
Why Come to Us for Assessment?
Within a specialist Hearing Implant Service Consultant Otolaryngologists work in partnership with Highly Specialist Clinical Scientists ( Audiology) and Highly Specialist Rehabilitationists ( Speech and Language Therapists). Your Consultant will therefore refer you to us.
With our specialist skills and experience we carry out all core audiological and rehabilitative assessments required as part of the hearing implant MDT. These are required in addition to the radiological and surgical assessments.
We have extensive experience of all hearing implants on the market for all types and causes of hearing loss.
We will provide you with a complete understanding of your hearing loss and which implants are audiologically appropriate for you. We will counsel you on expected outcomes should you go ahead.
On completion of all relevant assessments we will participate in a clinical meeting with the Consultant to make a team recommendation that is clinically appropriate for you.
