Today we celebrate International Cochlear Implant Day!! A life-changing innovation that provides access to sound for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. 🦻

Cochlear implants are different from hearing aids — they don’t just amplify sound, they directly stimulate the auditory nerve, bypassing damaged hair cells in the cochlea.

✨ Cochlear implant facts:
• Over 1 million people worldwide have cochlear implants.
• They can be implanted in children as young as 9–12 months, supporting critical speech and language development.
• Many recipients report significant improvement in speech understanding, even in noise.
• Cochlear implants can be used in one ear (unilateral) or both ears (bilateral) for improved localization and clarity.

Early identification, intervention, and access to technology can make a lifelong difference. Today we celebrate the science, the sound, and the people whose lives are changed every day. 💬🎶

Happy Thanksgiving! Check out some helpful tips below:
1. Reduce background noise: lower the volume of music or turn off unnecessary noise such as TVs.
2. Optimize lighting: ensure that a room is well lit to aid in lip reading.
3. Speak clearly and slowly: get the attention of family member first and rephrase your sentence if needed.
4. Use technology: there are many live captioning apps to consider using.
5. Ask them directly: if you have a family member who if D/HH ask them what works best for them. Everyone has different preferences for communication and inclusion.
