Cochlear Implants Q&A – Everything You Need To Know

Are you, or someone you know, considering cochlear implant surgery? A cochlear implant is an electronic device that can improve hearing in people who experience deafness or profound hearing loss due to damage to the cochlea. The implant can enhance communication and quality of life for patients.

In this video, Nathan Connell, M.D., an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physician with Mayo Clinic Health System, answers questions about cochlear implantation surgery, including how the device is different from a hearing aid, who is a good candidate for cochlear implantation surgery and what happens during the procedure. Dr. Connell also addresses questions about the success rate and risks of the procedure.

At Mayo Clinic Health System, patients receive expert care and guidance on whether cochlear implants may be a viable option for them. Mayo Clinic Health System provides comprehensive care for people with hearing loss and can help patients navigate the process of getting a cochlear implant, from consultation to implantation and beyond. Mayo Clinic Health System offers comprehensive treatment and care for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions, with specialists who work collaboratively to provide coordinated care close to home.

Nathan Connell, M.D., is a physician in the Otolaryngology (ENT) Department at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
