Paediatric Referrals Cochlear Implant

Once a referral is accepted, we notify the referrer. Additionally, we send out forms to parents to return and request relevant information from local professionals, such as the child’s Teacher of the Deaf. The first step in the assessment process is, where possible, for the family to attend a video call appointment with a member of our team. During this appointment we gather background information from the child's family and explain the assessment process.

 

Adult Referrals Cochlear Implant

Once a referral is accepted, we notify the referrer and send forms to the patient to be completed and returned to us. Additionally, we request relevant information from local professionals, including from their GP. The first step in the assessment process is, where possible, a video call appointment for the patient with a member of our team. During this appointment we gather background information from the referred adult and explain the assessment process.

Referrals for Middle Ear Implants and Bone Bridge Implants can be considered for patients who are unable to wear conventional hearing aids for medical reasons. Alternative ear mould options should have been thoroughly explored along with relevant medical treatments prior to referral.
