Pre- and Post-Cochlear Implant Services

HASA’s Cochlear Implant Services Team of audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) offer an integrated program to pre- and post-cochlear implant patients. For children receiving a cochlear implant, HASA offers a continuum of auditory/oral services for children from infancy through age 5 or 6. Our program prepares children with hearing loss for mainstream Kindergarten and for success in the hearing/speaking world.

Children with cochlear implants who receive aural habilitation services at HASA and preschoolers in our Auditory/Oral Preschool, “Little Ears, Big Voices,” have easy access to HASA audiologists for continuous mapping and assistive-device repair. They can also rely on HASA SLPs for on-going aural habilitation. All HASA professionals in the Auditory/Oral program have the highest level of certification and at least master’s level degrees. Moreover, HASA offers an intimate, family-centered environment, state-of-the-art facility and equipment, free and ample parking and friendly staff willing to devote special attention to each patient.
