Cochlear implants can provide significant benefits for those with severe to profound hearing loss. They allow for improved auditory skills, speech development, educational achievement, employment opportunities, and quality of life. Early identification of hearing loss and implantation before age 2 provides the best outcomes, with children developing language skills within normal ranges. Cochlear implants are a cost-effective intervention when considering both direct medical costs and indirect costs related to productivity losses.
