The Cochlear Implant is for many people an unknown technical aid for hearing, but for many others it has opened up new paths, offering them the possibility of recovering their lost hearing. The EURO-CIU European Association of Cochlear Implant Users will carry out awareness-raising events to give visibility with the international mottos:

Throughout Europe there are more than 500,000 people who have received cochlear implants, 60% are adults and 40% are minors, at the time of implantation. For more than 25 years, EURO-CIU has been representing the interests of cochlear implant users throughout Continental Europe. Its mission is the truthful dissemination of information about cochlear implants in all areas and the defense of the interests and rights of the group, as well as their families, offering advice and support at any stage of life.
Thanks to @FederacionAICE for making this video #accessible and @cics group for filming Esah.
The cochlear implant is an auditory technical aid that requires surgical intervention and is used to restore hearing by transforming sound into electrical energy to stimulate the auditory nerve. Cochlear implants (CI) make it possible for people to hear and understand sounds, even if they have damaged hair cells in the inner ear and have a severe or a profound hearing loss.
