Does the cochlear implant really work for deaf people?

Sometimes. If you have deafness that is the right type.

They have gotten a lot better in recent years.

But you really need to consult a doctor, who can say if you are one of the people it might work for.

No one here can answer that question for you. It is impossible for us to tell you.

Best to ask a doctor...

As the others have already said...

Yes but you really need to check with a specialist. Everybody is different as what works for one may not work for another.

It works for me. But it is something you need to ask a audiologist since it does not work for everybody

I first checked with the school of Audiology at my college then talked to my audiologist about it.. it is not a small decision! Be wise and good luck on your journey.
