Bone conduction and cochlear implant systems can carry the load conventional hearing aids can’t. We assess candidacy, coordinate with your surgeon, and handle programming and follow-up for life.
Candidacy assessment determines which system, if either, is right for you — we never assume.
Transmits sound through the skull bone directly to the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear entirely.
Bypasses damaged parts of the inner ear to stimulate the hearing nerve directly, for severe-to-profound loss.
A full hearing test and consultation to establish whether either system is appropriate for you.
If you’re a candidate, we coordinate with an ENT surgeon for the surgical side of the process.
The surgical procedure and recovery are managed by your ENT surgeon and their team.
Once healed, we activate, programme and fine-tune your device, with lifelong follow-up care.
Severe-to-profound hearing loss
Hearing aids no longer help enough
Single-sided deafness
Chronic ear infections that prevent wearing hearing aids
Conductive hearing loss from ear canal or middle ear issues
A family history of progressive hearing loss
Yes, both bone conduction and cochlear implant systems require surgery, performed by an ENT surgeon. We handle the assessment, referral, and all programming afterwards.
Many schemes cover implantable devices under a hospital or prosthesis benefit, often requiring pre-authorisation. We help you understand the process and the codes involved.
This varies by procedure and surgeon, typically a few weeks before the device can be activated. Your surgeon will give you a specific timeline.
Yes. Cochlear implants in particular are well established for children with severe-to-profound hearing loss, often from a young age.
Bone conduction sends sound through bone to a working inner ear — it helps with conductive and single-sided loss. Cochlear implants bypass a damaged inner ear entirely, for severe-to-profound sensorineural loss.
An honest assessment, a clear explanation of your options, and a referral only if it’s genuinely the right next step.
