School resource center
The Cochlear School Resource Center is designed to assist educational professionals, pediatric and educational audiologists with quick access to tools and material to meet the auditory accessibility needs of school-aged children with cochlear implants, a Baha® System or significant hearing loss.
*In the United States, the cochlear implant system is intended for use in children 9 to 24 months of age who have bilateral profound sensorineural deafness and demonstrate limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids. Children two years of age or older may demonstrate severe to profound hearing loss bilaterally. In Canada, the Cochlear Nucleus Profile Plus (CI600) Series and Profile (CI500) Series Implant Systems are intended for use in children 9 to 24 months of age who have bilateral profound sensorineural deafness and demonstrate limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids. Cochlear Nucleus Freedom Series (CI24RE (CA) and (ST), and CI422) Implant System is intended for use in children 12 to 24 months of age who have bilateral profound sensorineural deafness and demonstrate limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids. Children 2 years of age or older may demonstrate severe to profound hearing loss bilaterally for both series of implants.
