What is a Cochlear Implant?
Cochlear implants are stunningly advanced medical devices that are implanted within the ear, and are capable of restoring your hearing as close to its natural state as possible, (if your hearing loss is severe).
Check out the diagram on the left to see what it looks like and how it sits within the ear.
Cochlear implants can be placed in one ear (unilateral), or both ears (bilateral), and both children from as young as six-to-twelve months and adults can benefit from the much-improved hearing quality they offer.

Hear What Our Patients Have To Say
“A hearing test is the start of reconnecting with your world”
I suspected I might have a hearing loss when I could hear the coffee pot beep in my right ear but not my left ear. Before coming to Alaska Hearing, my biggest concern was price point value.
Steve M.
“With my hearing aids, I can hear my family, I can hear better at work, and I feel overall less stressed!”
I was ashamed I needed help. I am young compared to everyone else I know who wears hearing aids
CJW
“I have much less ringing and I’m able to concentrate more”
I became concerned about my hearing due to ringing in the ears. I found a comfortable setting and exceptional staff at Alaska Hearing.
James
“Now that I can hear, I am not embarrassed to get into a conversation, nor an argument, nor a discussion”
I became less outgoing. I was in a shell. Less a part of the group.
Ronald
“My quality of life has drastically improved since purchasing my hearing devices”
I was 14 or 15 years old and a teacher noticed that I was falling behind in the class discussion
Ryan H.
“With my hearing aids, I can hear my grandkids, and my wife is a very happy woman”
I pretty much have had ringing in my ears my whole life. I have always struggled and normally had to be looking at a person to read their lips if I was going to understand a conversation.
Joseph L.
"I was scared to find out if I really had a hearing loss, but now I'm so glad I took that first step."
Although I was not afraid to go in and get tested, I was scared to find out if I really had a hearing loss.
Sue B.
“I’m very satisfied with the care and service Alaska Hearing provide”
My hearing loss came in two stages. I lost the hearing in one ear due to the mumps at age 12. So I have had single-sided deafness since then
Larry S.
“I enjoy so many more activities than before”
I realized there may be a hearing challenge when I started asking for the hearing impaired headphones at the movie theater
Becki G.
“There are no words to describe how sincerely grateful I am for your level of care”
I sincerely hope that you remember treating me for 6 wonderful years of my life before I moved to New Zealand.
