If you have significant hearing loss and haven't benefited from a traditional hearing aid, Rush auditory implant specialists may be able to help. Led by program director Elias Michaelides, MD, our team of experienced, compassionate neurotologists, audiologists, physician assistants and nurses will do everything possible to improve your ability to communicate by tailoring treatment to your needs — including recommending the appropriate device for you based on our decades of expertise evaluating and treating hearing loss.
Types of Auditory Implants
Hearing aids are often the best option for people with hearing loss, but occasionally they no longer help.
If you have severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, you may benefit from cochlear implants.
If you have single-sided deafness, mixed hearing loss or conductive hearing loss, you may benefit from auditory osseointegrated implants, or bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA).
When to Seek Help
If you have hearing loss and are considering a surgically implanted device, we encourage you to schedule a comprehensive evaluation with our team before making your decision.
