Study: Two Implants Make a Difference

Children with two cochlear implants will gain language skills similar to hearing children within a couple of years, according a study out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Researchers followed the progress of 45 children, ages 4 to 9. Each received the second implant by the age of 6. It's the first study to show the impact of having two implants instead of just one.
