Ever wondered what it actually looks like when a cochlear implant is placed inside the cochlea—for you or your child?

The video below shows a MED-EL device being carefully inserted. The blend of science and technology behind this process is truly incredible!

What an incredible turnout we had today at the Iowa Children’s Museum!

A big thank you to Kelby for sharing his story and talking about how he navigated his hearing loss while discovering what worked best for him in both school and sports.

We’re also grateful to the parents who took time out of their busy schedules to bring their kids and give them the opportunity to meet others just like them.

Thank you to the amazing student volunteers, Iowa Hands & Voices and the Pediatric Audiology Lab Uiowa at the University of Iowa for collaborating with us to make today’s event so special!

We will be posting more information soon about University of Iowa Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic summer camp opportunities for our deaf and hard of hearing kids. 🦻🙌

Happy International Cochlear Implant Day!

Today we celebrate the incredible impact cochlear implant technology has on the lives of children and adults alike. At Midwest Audiology, we are honored to support our patients on their hearing journey and to be part of providing access to this life-changing solution.

Did you know? Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear— helping individuals with moderate-severe to profound hearing loss perceive sound in a completely different way.

Cochlear implants are a medical necessity for patients who no longer benefit from hearing aids.

February 2-8 is Tinnitus Awareness Week.

* Tinnitus is very common and effects around 50 million people in the US.
* Tinnitus doesn’t have a single universal “cure,” but it can often be treated and managed successfully.
* Treatment options can include the following: treat the underlying issue, hearing aids (most effective treatment), sound therapy/masking, tinnitus retraining therapy, and stress management.

If you would like to learn more information:

Communication Sciences & Disorders at the University of Iowa hosts the University of Iowa Tinnitus Education and Support group, led by associate professor Julie Jeon. The group, which is centered on providing evidence-based tinnitus education and support, recently received a grant from the American Tinnitus Association.

The group meets online at 9 a.m. on the second Wednesday of every month. Zoom link: https://bit.ly/3Z36LVO

Did you know Midwest Audiology offers more than just custom earmolds for hearing aids? We also provide custom earmolds for a variety of hearing needs and protective situations.

Custom hearing protection plays a vital role in preventing permanent, noise-induced hearing loss. With a personalized fit, custom molds provide consistent and maximum sound reduction, superior comfort for extended wear, and clearer, more natural sound through specialized filters. They are also durable and designed for long-term use in environments such as shooting sports, music, and industrial or occupational settings.
