This Know-vember: Know What to Expect on Your CI Switch-On! 🎧✨

Activation day is an exciting first step in your cochlear implant journey. Here’s what usually happens:
Your hearing professional will explain how your sound processor works and how to care for it.
They’ll program your processor and adjust volume levels for different pitches; this is called mapping.
The goal? To start hearing sounds comfortably. You might not hear clearly yet, and that’s okay, your brain needs time and practice to interpret the new signals.

Over the next few months, you will attend consultations with your audiologist and aural rehabilitation speech therapist. Practising listening and speaking is key to making the most of your CI and achieving the best hearing outcomes.

World Radiography Day

MRI is the standard of care in many countries. For higher resolution, better image clarity, less motion artifact and better diagnostic strength, health care professionals might consider MRI scanning at 3 Tesla, instead of 1.5 Tesla.

MRI has been a barrier to bone conduction with active implants. With the Osia System and the OSI300 implant, Cochlear™ takes a big step forward by removing the existing barriers to 3 T MRI.
Thanks to the OSI300, the Osia System is now the only active BC system enabling MRI at 3 tesla - without any additional surgeries.

In honour of World Radiography Day, with OSI300, we introduce the next-generation 3 T magnet, which rotates to align itself to the magnetic field of MRI scanners. This is what allows the magnet to stay in place.

Looking back on National Children’s Day, we’re reminded that every child deserves to hear the world around them.

Depending on your child's hearing loss, Cochlear™ hearing solutions help children connect, learn, and grow.

As we close October, we’re reminded that hearing health is not just about ears—it’s about connection, prevention, wellbeing, and living life to the fullest at every stage.

From childhood learning to healthy ageing, from protecting mental health to recovering after illness or trauma—your hearing plays a vital role in every part of life.

Let’s continue raising awareness, breaking stigmas, and supporting every journey to better hearing.

Don’t wait for hearing loss to hold you back. Book a hearing check, start the conversation, and take the first step to staying connected.

World Stroke Day | 29 October
Audiologists plays a vital role in testing these patients’ hearing, assess central auditory function, and work with stroke teams to improve communication and recovery.

At Southern ENT, we recognise that hearing health is deeply connected to neurological health. Our team supports patients and healthcare professionals in identifying these hearing challenges that may follow neurological events like stroke — because reconnecting to sound is an essential part of recovery and quality of life.
This National Stroke Day, let’s raise awareness, listen closely, and support stroke survivors on their journey to full connection.
