Mom, Yvette Quirl and her children

The Dallas Cochlear Implant Program accepts ADULTS, INFANTS and CHILDREN who have severe to profound hearing loss in both ears, who have no medical or other condition contraindicating implantation, and when hearing aids are simply not enough.

Cochlear implants have helped thousands of people of all ages gain or regain contact with the hearing world. Since 1986 our program has admitted over 400 people who are successfully implanted and followed as needed by our team of professionals.

The links on the left will lead you to all the information you need to help you make choices that are right for you and your family.
