Complex Needs | Advanced Bionics

Help Your Little One Develop Listening, Language, and Communication

Cochlear implants have opened a world of sound and communication opportunities for severe to profoundly deaf children with additional and complex needs. With their cochlear implants they can hear you laugh, talk, and sing! Nurture and develop their early communication skills with resources developed to provide stimulating and engaging experiences at home and in the center… begin your child's Hearing Journey with Advanced Bionics and the BabyBeats™ early intervention resource!

 

Babies Learn to Listen Through Music

Babies and toddlers learn to communicate before they can talk!

Talking and singing is the most natural way to bond with your baby and to develop their communication.

Before babies understand words, they respond to the pitch and emotion in your voice, so sing your heart out!

Introducing BabyBeats!

Discover how to use music with your child following identification of a hearing loss with BabyBeats. Baby and toddler brains are able to absorb a comprehensive world of sounds, voice and music- before and after receiving hearing aids and/or cochlear implants.

Share quality listening & learning time together and make the most of this special time from the comfort of your own home!

Sing and Play Everyday

For a child using cochlear implants, the home environment is key to optimising listening and language development. The Listening Room is a great place to find many activities that introduce or reinforce new vocabulary, strengthen or develop language skills, and improve social skills without the need to visit a clinic. HearingSuccess offers information about the benefits of listening with the Advanced Bionics cochlear implant system and provides the fundamental resources to promote language and listening skills in your child.
