Will a cochlear implant cure a students hearing loss?
Cochlear implants have been used successfully with many people, including infants and children. The implant itself, however, will be of little value if follow-up monitoring and therapy are not implemented. An implant will not cure deafness but, with proper monitoring and therapy, may enable a deaf child to function as if he or she is hard of hearing, and may give a hard of hearing child a greater degree of usable hearing.
