Audiologist playing with a child candidate

This is the moment your family has been waiting for. After the recommended healing period, you’ll visit your child's audiologist to receive the sound processor, and he or she will hear for the first time with their new device. The excitement will be building as you approach the big day, giving you a chance to prepare for what’s ahead. Learn about the recovery period, what to expect at programming, and how to get ready for their new hearing and the best ways to make the most of it.
