Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A child with a cochlear implant is likely profoundly deaf or hard of hearing. Cochlear implants are electronic devices that are surgically implanted in the inner ear and can provide a sense of sound to individuals with severe hearing loss or deafness. It does not necessarily indicate a visual impairment, the need for a wheelchair, nor one-on-one care for the majority of the day. The child's height and language skills are also not related to the use of a cochlear implant.
