The ACI Alliance resources below are designed to help patients with hearing loss and parents of children with hearing loss who either have, or are considering, a cochlear implant. Please feel free to share these resources with your own networks, patients, colleagues or friends.

Listening is a monthly newsletter with information on cochlear implants and hearing loss relevant to hearing healthcare providers, adult CI recipients (and those exploring CI), parents and family members interested in CI, educators who work with deaf and hard of hearing children, and anyone wanting to learn more about cochlear implants. We encourage you to share sign-up details for this free e-newsletter with patients, family members, colleagues or anyone who may be interested.
View our Tuesday Talks video library of recorded webinars addressing cochlear implant evaluation, activation and programming for children and adults, details on the cochlear implant surgery, cochlear implant coverage for veterans, tips for IEPs for children with cochlear implants, and more.
CI CAN is designed to amplify ACI Alliance’s ongoing efforts with grassroots advocacy. Anyone who has or needs a cochlear implant or supports others may join our network. ACI Alliance staff and volunteers provide training and guidance and there is no cost to join or participate. Join our network and help us make a difference.
The mission of the American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance is to advance access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness.
