Implants offer multi channel hearing options for candidates
McCabe explains multi channel implants typically outperform single channel devices by delivering high sounds to one nerve area and low sounds to another. Patients 20 to 68 show improvement, with some infected or scarred nerves limiting channels. Prospective candidates undergo screening and frequencies are adjusted monthly in the first year. The brain's adaptability largely drives success and quality of life improvements. call Ruth Severson at 356-2815 for information.
