What to Expect After Cochlear Implantation: Ask Mayo Clinic Health System

Cochlear implant surgery can be a life-changing procedure for individuals with severe hearing loss. In this video, Nathan Connell, M.D., an ENT physician with Mayo Clinic Health System, answers questions about what a person can expect following the surgery, including how long it will take to hear better and the vital role audiologists play in supporting patients.
Dr. Connell also discusses how long an implant can be expected to last and how various activities may be impacted with the device. Following cochlear implantation, it is important to follow up with an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor and audiologist to monitor progress and make adjustments to the cochlear implant as needed. These specialists can provide expert care and support in the management of the cochlear implantation surgery.
Mayo Clinic Health System offers comprehensive treatment and care for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions, with ENT specialists who work collaboratively to provide coordinated care close to home.
