Neuropsychological Testing in the Screening for Cochlear.
Cochlear implant assessment process The initial assessment takes place in a hearing implant clinic at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Audiology Centre (QEHAC) in Birmingham. You will have a hearing test and also a test listening to sentences with your hearing aids.
The Cochlear Implant The cochlear implant is possibly one of the greatest inventions designed to benefit the deaf community. A cochlear implant is a device implanted internally behind a deaf persons ear with an external microphone, and is designed to provide artificial sounds to people who have nerve deafness in both ears and show no ability to understand speech through hearing aids.
From the distribution of post-implant results, Dowell and colleagues showed that 75% of implant users scored above 70% for open-set sentence testing at their 3-month post-operative evaluation (see Figure 1). 3 Based on this observation, candidates whose best scores fell below 70% had at least a 75% chance of improvement with an implant. Similar criteria were developed for other tests of speech.
BC Adult Cochlear Implant Program July, 2010 4 6. How do I get referred for a Cochlear Implant: A referral from an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist is required for a cochlear implant candidacy assessment. We accept referrals for BC residents and will consider referral requests from other Canadian provinces. We do not accept.
We use a team approach to evaluate people for cochlear implant candidacy and throughout the implant process. Our team of neurotologists, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, social workers, and others work together to improve your hearing and daily communication experience.
Evidence-based recommendations on cochlear implants for children and adults with severe to profound deafness. This guidance has been updated after a review of the criteria for defining severe to profound deafness and for assessing adequate benefit from acoustic hearing aids set out in recommendation 1.5.
