“I was completely overwhelmed by every aspect of the process when getting my cochlear implant. I couldn’t have done it without Virginia’s support.
She helped with auditory training, device management, and understanding the process.”

Perception Training
Aural rehabilitation is training to improve the communication abilities of individuals with hearing loss. It includes strategies such as auditory training, speechreading, device management, and counseling. By participating in aural rehabilitation, individuals can enhance their listening skills to better understand speech and environmental sounds by learning to communicate in different environments, increasing confidence, and improving social interactions.

Caregiver Support
We also provide caregiver support for families who are new to cochlear implants or have family members who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
For our hearing strategies services, we primarily focus on individuals with Medicare (adults who are 65+).
Sometimes, we offer private pay (cash, credit card) services for those under 65. For those individuals, we will provide superbills you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement (such as with an HSA or FSA). Reach out to learn more.
