As a cochlear implant recipient, how you feel with your device is just as important as your scores on hearing tests with your audio processor, if not more so. Studies have shown that cochlear implants not only can improve an adult’s communication skills but also have positive benefits on their quality of life, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

If you're seeking a tool to practice your listening and speech skills, we have you covered. Welcome to the world of ReDi (Rehabilitation Digital), your AI-powered assistant for cochlear implant auditory and speech training.

We interviewed parents of cochlear implant users about their children’s kindergarten and school experiences. In this article, they share some insights and tips on how to have a successful school year with cochlear implants.

Water activities are a joy for everyone, offering fun, social interaction, and physical activity. For cochlear implant users, participating in these activities can be challenging without the right protection for their audio processors. WaterWear is a game-changer, providing a waterproof solution that allows cochlear implant users to hear and engage in water environments.

Listening fatigue is a common experience for hearing aid and hearing implant users. It occurs when it’s necessary to listen to speech for long periods in difficult listening situations: background noise, echo, multiple people talking at the same time, a lack of lip-reading cues. Listening in such environments requires more effort because the listener has to fill in the gaps in the auditory message that they miss due to the noise. This increased listening effort can lead to listening fatigue.
