In this webinar, we talk to Cochlear implant user and advocate, Dr Lewis Williams, whose paper 'Untreated severe-to-profound hearing loss and the cochlear implant situation: how policy and practice are disabling New Zealand society' was published last year in the New Zealand Medical Journal.
Join a Webinar about the importance of adult CI awareness to improve access to better standards of hearing care- presented by consumer advocates for consumers.

Screening for hearing loss in adults is important for the identification of potential candidates for cochlear implantation. Clearer and appropriate criteria for diagnosis of those who may be a candidate for cochlear implants will help create a clear pathway to implantation and improve understanding of the benefits and appropriateness of CIs by health professionals and the general public.
