In the UK D/deaf children are offered two cochlear implants whereas D/deaf adults are offered one cochlear implant, except in special circumstances.

USAIS is interested in obtaining the perspectives of

(1) Adult cochlear implant users and

(2) Cochlear implant professionals regarding your views on:

· Whether adults in the UK should be offered one or two cochlear implants?

· The potential advantages and disadvantages of receiving two cochlear implants.

· How well current audiology tests reflect real-world listening? (Are the tests representative of hearing situations outside of the clinical setting?)

The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete. This survey is anonymous and can’t be tracked back to any specific individual.
