Cochlear Connections is a place to meet and communicate with other Cochlear recipients, their loved ones and family members.
If you’re wondering what day-to-day life is like with a Cochlear device visit Cochlear Connections to talk with someone who has been through what you’re going through.
How is a Cochlear device different than a hearing aid? Can you enjoy music with your device? Are you able to hear in a loud restaurant? Curious if children with devices can attend regular school? Or are you an athlete wondering how well a sound processor will stay on? Wonder how well you’ll be able to hear your grandchildren speak?
Cochlear Connections is a place to meet and communicate with other Cochlear recipients, their loved ones and family members. You can ask any questions about their experiences with Cochlear devices and services, and about the hearing journey recipients go through.
Cochlear Connections is a directory of unpaid volunteers from all walks of life, with many different hearing loss experiences, in English and in Spanish. They all want to share their stories in order to help someone else.
“I love my implants and really enjoy reaching out to potential candidates. I also enjoy helping recipients with problems and questions.” – Sue M.
When you’re going through hearing loss and determining what solution works best for you, it can be overwhelming. And while many people in your life are supportive, no one can understand your hearing loss journey, your questions and your emotions better than someone who’s been there.

You’ll receive an email response from the volunteer within 72 hours (allow a little more time during the holidays).
