Today we had the pleasure of meeting with the President of Cochlear Americas, along with our regional Cochlear representatives.

They took the time to listen and gain insight into how our clinic operates, helping us continue to grow and provide the highest level of care for our patients.

In less than two years since opening our doors, we’re proud to have activated over 80 cochlear implants and now support more than 230 cochlear implant patients in their hearing journey.

We are incredibly grateful for the collaboration, support, and shared mission of transforming lives through this remarkable hearing technology. Our goal remains the same, to keep learning, growing, and delivering the best possible care to patients of all ages.

What an incredible turnout we had today at the Iowa Children’s Museum!

A big thank you to Kelby for sharing his story and talking about how he navigated his hearing loss while discovering what worked best for him in both school and sports.

We’re also grateful to the parents who took time out of their busy schedules to bring their kids and give them the opportunity to meet others just like them.

Thank you to the amazing student volunteers, Iowa Hands & Voices and the Pediatric Audiology Lab Uiowa at the University of Iowa for collaborating with us to make today’s event so special!

Happy International Cochlear Implant Day!

Today we celebrate the incredible impact cochlear implant technology has on the lives of children and adults alike. At Midwest Audiology, we are honored to support our patients on their hearing journey and to be part of providing access to this life-changing solution.

Did you know? Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear— helping individuals with moderate-severe to profound hearing loss perceive sound in a completely different way.

Cochlear implants are a medical necessity for patients who no longer benefit from hearing aids.
