Is there any special therapy provided following cochlear implantation?
Postoperative, speech-language-listening therapy is available to every cochlear implant recipient. While the need for therapy is apparent in children, many adults can also benefit greatly from a structured approach to learning to listen with a cochlear implant. Each recipient’s therapy program is individually designed to meet his/her unique needs. For those in the early stages of cochlear implant, therapy may be two to three times a year, and less frequently for more experienced implant users.
