We are pleased to share our new report, Young Adults with CI Matter, looks at the data from our global survey from those implanted as children and now young adults. It adds the issues arising from their CIICA Conversations and the Global Advisory Group of Young People with CI to produce a unique comprehensive report from this pioneering group.

The Living Guidelines for Adult CI are designed to address the gap in access to cochlear implantation for adults, and to improve CI services for all adults could benefit. Read about their key messages here, see the full recommendations for the whole process of CI and see our summary to use for your advocacy work.

The Living Guidelines Project aims at producing evidence based guidelines for CI in adults, to ensure that those who need CIs get the best possible services.
