My grandfather’s hearing loss has become so severe he’s almost entirely deaf. It was recommended he receive cochlear implants. Is this safe?

In fact, cochlear implants have been proven to be a safe solution to severe hearing loss in seniors! Past studies have shown that these devices can greatly increase the quality of life for people suffering hearing loss, although one of the main risks is the use of anesthesia. We’d advise your grandfather to talk to his doctor about the procedure to ensure everything will run smoothly!
