In the United States, the cochlear implant system is intended for use in children 9 to 24 months of age who have bilateral profound sensorineural deafness and demonstrate limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids. Children two years of age or older may demonstrate severe to profound hearing loss bilaterally.
In Canada, the cochlear implant system is intended for use in children 12 to 24 months of age who have bilateral profound sensorineural deafness and demonstrate limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids. Children two years of age or older may demonstrate severe to profound hearing loss bilaterally.

Professional perspectives: A closer look at remote care solutions
During a recent live webinar, a panel of audiology professionals shared their experiences with Cochlear’s remote service solutions. The panel discussion is now available as a standalone [downloadable] audio file, accessible below.
Dr. Mila Duke, Dr. Regina Presley and Dr. Melissa Anderson discuss remote care implementation in the evolving telehealth landscape. During the Q&A, the panel applies their breadth of clinical care experience to optimize Cochlear’s Remote Care solutions for their patients.
These experts examine the need for audiologists to be recognized as telehealth providers, especially regarding troubleshooting and counseling. Further, they review the patient benefits, as well as the cost and time savings associated with Cochlear Link as clinics strive to meet the demands of increasing service requests that parallel efficiency challenges.
Additionally, Dr. Presley carefully considers the call for streamlined services and protocols following the COVID pandemic. In her experience, Remote Check (not live yet) can keep patients and professionals conveniently connected, quicken patient monitoring and supplement professional insight. She notes that even in a newer telehealth environment, less tech savvy patients shouldn’t be discounted from utilizing remote services.
Cochlear Link, Remote Check and Remote Programming create an environment for clinicians to pinpoint urgent patient needs and prioritize accordingly.

About Remote Check
Remote Check is designed to be a convenient, at-home testing tool that allows Cochlear recipients with a Cochlear™ Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor to complete a series of hearing tests from their compatible iOS device using the Nucleus Smart App.* Results are then sent remotely to the recipient’s clinic for review by their clinician. The clinician can review the results by logging into their myCochlear Clinic professional portal, where they can access a comprehensive overview of their patient’s hearing health. Remote Check is designed to provide a snapshot of a patient’s hearing health so a clinician can quickly determine whether a patient is progressing well, or whether further clinical intervention is required.**
Remote Check is intended for ages 6 and older. The Remote Check feature is only visible and accessible if the feature is enabled by a clinician. Clinicians should consider the suitability of the feature before enabling Remote Check.
