Why can't I hear

Hearing loss. It can be a slow, gradual process that can happen without you noticing it at first. You might not clearly understand people speaking to you, need to turn up the volume on the TV, or are startled by a car approaching that you didn’t hear.

Cochlear implants costs and cost coverage: What to consider

What others say about HearPeers

“Unfortunately, I don’t have time for visits to self-help groups.
Therefore I contacted a HearPeer. That motivated me a lot”.

“Contact with my HearPeer, a bilaterally implanted
young man, has impressed and convinced me.”

“The direct contact with a CI user was decisive for me in choosing a CI.”
