Deafness in both years
Hello,
My sister has been diagnosed with medium.to severe deafness in both ears since she was 5 years old. She had used hearing aids before and has some minute benefits. I had learnt about cochlear implants. I have attached her audiometry and BERA reports. Please can you guide us if the cochlear implants will make much of a difference. If not , then please guide about the hearing aids and it's settings to be used as the older one is not working properly.
Waiting patiently.
Regards
