A recent survey by ACI Alliance found that adult candidates’ perceptions of cochlear implantation also contribute to long wait periods by some people as well as reluctance by certain candidates to ever move forward. This series is designed to address the most commonly cited reasons that adults wait to move forward once they learn that they are CI candidates.

The course will introduce and demonstrate intervention approaches and principles in effective adult rehabilitation programs following cochlear implantation (CI). This course is presented by AudiologyOnline in partnership with ACIA.

This course will cover topics associated with cochlear implant (CI) surgery including medical candidacy, electrode choice, surgical technique and commonly asked questions about CI surgery. This course is presented by AudiologyOnline in partnership with ACIA.

Cochlear implants are highly underutilized by people who could benefit and one of the most common reasons that people don’t pursue the intervention is a misperception that they or their family will be paying for the device and related services out-of-pocket. This introduction to health insurance and cochlear implants will explain the typical coverage process in public and private health insurance plans as well as the likely financial responsibility of the individual or family. Presenters are the director of an innovative cochlear implant program and a national advocate for cochlear implant access. This course is presented by AudiologyOnline in partnership with ACIA.

Many excellent cochlear implant (CI) candidates are fearful about taking the step to obtain a cochlear implant. Many worry about the outcome and whether they will achieve benefit. This course will explore expected outcomes following cochlear implantation. This course is presented by AudiologyOnline in partnership with ACIA

This course provides clinical tools to the cochlear implant (CI) audiologist and goes beyond the basics. A review of past and present cochlear implant candidacy criteria for pediatrics and adults and ways to identify potential cochlear implant patients is discussed. Various ways to measure the quality of life in the cochlear implant population is covered. In addition, data are presented regarding the quality of life outcomes in adult cochlear implant recipients.

This course examines both the Food and Drug Administration and best-practice candidacy assessment practices for pediatric cochlear implantation. Medical, audiology, speech-language pathology, and other assessments and considerations will be discussed to help identify best practices for candidacy determination.
