BCID Suitability

To determine candidacy, a specialised audiologist assessment in BCID and consultation with an ENT surgeon are required.

How do I know if I am a candidate?

Generally speaking, you should consider a BCID if;

  • You have a conductive hearing loss in either ear;
    You have traditional hearing aids and/or are unable to wearing them (e.g. recurrent ear infections, atresia/microtia, significant irritation)
  • You have good speech understanding when sounds are comfortably loud
  • Your hearing loss significantly impacts daily interactions either socially or professionally.

The best first step is to discuss this option with your current hearing professional or get in touch with us to facilitate a referral to a specialized provider experienced in BCID.
