5 Common Myths about Cochlear Implants

Two members of the board of the American Cochlear Implant Alliance address what they consider myths about implants.

Their five myths include:

Myth 1: My insurance will not cover cochlear implant surgery.

Myth 2: Cochlear implant surgery involves complicated brain surgery.

Myth 3: Cochlear implants are only for patients with profound hearing loss.

Myth 4: A cochlear implant will restore my hearing to “normal.”

Myth 5: I am too old to get a cochlear implant.
