To a child, <strong>the</strong>re’s no such th<strong>in</strong>g as “<strong>little</strong> <strong>moments</strong>.” Every moment is <strong>big</strong>, new and full<br />
of possibilities — and new sounds. The soft patter of fall<strong>in</strong>g ra<strong>in</strong>. Mom s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g a nursery<br />
rhyme. The sweet chirp of a bird.<br />
As a parent, <strong>the</strong>re’s noth<strong>in</strong>g quite like watch<strong>in</strong>g your child experience <strong>the</strong> world with<br />
each <strong>little</strong> step, where new people, new voices, new environments and new challenges<br />
appear around every bend. Each discovery is a chance for magic, wonder and connection.<br />
And whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are play<strong>in</strong>g or learn<strong>in</strong>g, work<strong>in</strong>g or grow<strong>in</strong>g, you want your child to<br />
experience <strong>the</strong> limitless potential of a <strong>life</strong> full of those <strong>moments</strong> — achiev<strong>in</strong>g all <strong>the</strong>y<br />
can without barriers.<br />
That’s why we designed <strong>the</strong> Cochlear Nucleus ® 5 System — to <strong>make</strong> a <strong>big</strong> <strong>difference</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> lives of thousands of children with hear<strong>in</strong>g loss around <strong>the</strong> world. Toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong><br />

new benchmark <strong>in</strong> hear<strong>in</strong>g performance. Every advancement, every detail is developed to<br />
provide unsurpassed hear<strong>in</strong>g performance for your child. Now your child can achieve <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

The Nucleus 5 System represents a new design that is built to last a<br />
<strong>life</strong>time. The new sound processor is constructed with state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art<br />
robust and durable materials. The new implant is built on a track record<br />
of <strong>the</strong> best reliability <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustry. Extensive reliability test<strong>in</strong>g has been<br />
carried out to ensure a highly reliable device. of course, <strong>the</strong> true test is<br />
how well Nucleus 5 stands up to <strong>the</strong> “rough and tumble” <strong>life</strong> of a child.<br />
Sweat and grime or mud, ra<strong>in</strong> and snow. We’ve anticipated every move —<br />
and wea<strong>the</strong>r condition. When your child is runn<strong>in</strong>g down <strong>the</strong> soccer field,<br />
<strong>the</strong> only th<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong>ir m<strong>in</strong>d will be scor<strong>in</strong>g a goal. A titanium foundation,<br />

Parent of Julian M. — Bilateral recipient<br />
Bilateral<br />

Physicians, audiologists, teachers and cochlear<br />
implant recipients cont<strong>in</strong>ue to recommend bilateral<br />
cochlear implantation<br />
Hear<strong>in</strong>g with two ears — whe<strong>the</strong>r it be with two cochlear<br />

an experience that hear<strong>in</strong>g with one ear cannot. 33<br />
implanT opTionS<br />
Some bilateral cochlear implant recipients receive two cochlear<br />
implants at <strong>the</strong> same time (simultaneous bilateral implantation).<br />
O<strong>the</strong>r bilateral cochlear implant recipients start with one<br />
cochlear implant, and <strong>the</strong>n follow-up with a second cochlear<br />
implant on <strong>the</strong> opposite ear (sequential bilateral implantation).<br />
There are a variety of reasons recipients may consider ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
option. Whe<strong>the</strong>r consider<strong>in</strong>g simultaneous or sequential<br />
bilateral implantation, it is important for you to discuss this<br />
option with your hear<strong>in</strong>g healthcare provider to determ<strong>in</strong>e<br />
<strong>the</strong> best approach for your child.<br />
<strong>in</strong>SuRance coveRaGe<br />
Bilateral cochlear implantation is covered by many health<br />
<strong>in</strong>surance providers. <strong>For</strong> example - United Healthcare, one of<br />
<strong>the</strong> largest health <strong>in</strong>surers <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States, allows for <strong>the</strong><br />
coverage of bilateral cochlear implants for adults and children.<br />

Your child has just received <strong>the</strong>ir Nucleus® 5 Cochlear Implant. You now wonder.<br />
What will my voice sound like to my child? Will my child learn to speak? Will<br />
my child succeed? While a cochlear implant represents a world of opportunities,<br />
it’s important to remember that everyone is unique and results can differ from<br />
one person to <strong>the</strong> next. learn<strong>in</strong>g to listen and speak aga<strong>in</strong> (or for <strong>the</strong> first time)<br />
<strong>in</strong>volves a process of <strong>the</strong>rapy and tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g called habilitation, which is important<br />
to <strong>the</strong> hear<strong>in</strong>g experience.<br />
habiliTaTion foR childRen<br />
Children who have never experienced sound prior to implantation need habilitation <strong>in</strong> order to<br />
understand environmental sounds and speech. Just like a newborn, your child needs tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and<br />
experience to learn to listen. Educational environments that emphasize auditory skills development<br />
typically have a positive effect on a child’s speech and language progress. Family, friends, speech<br />
language pathologists, listen<strong>in</strong>g and spoken language specialists and o<strong>the</strong>r hear<strong>in</strong>g health<br />
professionals and educators all play crucial roles <strong>in</strong> help<strong>in</strong>g kids achieve <strong>the</strong> best outcomes possible.<br />

You should talk to your hear<strong>in</strong>g healthcare provider about who is a candidate for cochlear implantation.<br />
Before any cochlear implant surgery, it is important to talk to your doctor about CDC guidel<strong>in</strong>es for<br />
pre-surgical vacc<strong>in</strong>ations. Cochlear implants are contra<strong>in</strong>dicated for patients with lesions of <strong>the</strong> auditory<br />
nerve, active ear <strong>in</strong>fections or active disease of <strong>the</strong> middle ear.<br />
Cochlear implantation is a surgical procedure, and carries with it <strong>the</strong> risks typical for surgery. You<br />
may lose residual hear<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> implanted ear. Electrical stimulation may result <strong>in</strong> some side effects,<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g r<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> ear, stimulation of <strong>the</strong> facial nerve; <strong>in</strong> rare cases this may cause pa<strong>in</strong>. Though<br />

a cochlear implant.<br />
