What is a Cochlear Implant?

A cochlear implant consists of two parts, an internal and external component.

Hearing Evaluation

Tinnitus Relief

Cochlear Implant Candidacy & Programming

If hearing aids aren’t enough, we offer expert cochlear implant evaluations and programming—right here in your own backyard.

Pediatric Audiology

We make hearing care easy and stress-free for both you and your child—with child-focused hearing tests available near Charlotte.

Newborn Evaluation

Early screening leads to early support—and our team ensures your baby receives the highest level of care with accurate, efficient newborn hearing screenings.

The Internal Component

The internal component is a small electrode that is implanted into the cochlea of the inner ear. Through this electrode, the auditory nerve can be stimulated directly, allowing access to sound that wasn’t previously possible.

The External Component

The external component is called the speech processor. The processor is responsible for picking up sound through the microphone and transmitting that sound to the internal device.
