ALL ABOUT COCHLEAR IMPLANTS
SATURDAY APRIL 8TH
Cochlear Implant Basics founder and producer, Richard Pocker received bilateral cochlear implants in 2016, 35 years after becoming deaf at age 30. With rehabilitation he has gone from zero speech recognition to 85%. Richard has made it his mission to spread information about cochlear implants with particular hopes that education will help others who can benefit from implants. The FAQs on his website, https://cochlearimplantbasics.com/ cover basics of how cochlear implants work, and how to access personal services and support. The website also affords access to interviews Richard conducted with cochlear implant recipients and professionals on a wide variety of needs and experiences, many of which are transcribed his book which is available through the website as well.
