Designed with your child <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d<br />

To a child, <strong>the</strong>re’s no such th<strong>in</strong>g as “<strong>little</strong> <strong>moments</strong>.” Every moment is <strong>big</strong>, new and full<br />

of possibilities — and new sounds. The soft patter of fall<strong>in</strong>g ra<strong>in</strong>. Mom s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g a nursery<br />

rhyme. The sweet chirp of a bird.<br />

As a parent, <strong>the</strong>re’s noth<strong>in</strong>g quite like watch<strong>in</strong>g your child experience <strong>the</strong> world with<br />

each <strong>little</strong> step, where new people, new voices, new environments and new challenges<br />

appear around every bend. Each discovery is a chance for magic, wonder and connection.<br />

And whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are play<strong>in</strong>g or learn<strong>in</strong>g, work<strong>in</strong>g or grow<strong>in</strong>g, you want your child to<br />

experience <strong>the</strong> limitless potential of a <strong>life</strong> full of those <strong>moments</strong> — achiev<strong>in</strong>g all <strong>the</strong>y<br />

can without barriers.<br />

That’s why we designed <strong>the</strong> Cochlear Nucleus ® 5 System — to <strong>make</strong> a <strong>big</strong> <strong>difference</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> lives of thousands of children with hear<strong>in</strong>g loss around <strong>the</strong> world. Toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong><br />

Nucleus 5 System, featur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> Cochlear Nucleus CP810 Sound Processor, Cochlear<br />

Nucleus CI512 Cochlear Implant and Cochlear Nucleus CR110 Remote Assistant sets a<br />

new benchmark <strong>in</strong> hear<strong>in</strong>g performance. Every advancement, every detail is developed to<br />

provide unsurpassed hear<strong>in</strong>g performance for your child. Now your child can achieve <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

personal best hear<strong>in</strong>g experience, enjoy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> <strong>little</strong> <strong>moments</strong> and everyth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> between.<br />

Reliable System Cochlear<br />

5 — built to last a <strong>life</strong>time<br />

The Nucleus 5 System represents a new design that is built to last a<br />

<strong>life</strong>time. The new sound processor is constructed with state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art<br />

robust and durable materials. The new implant is built on a track record<br />

of <strong>the</strong> best reliability <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustry. Extensive reliability test<strong>in</strong>g has been<br />

carried out to ensure a highly reliable device. of course, <strong>the</strong> true test is<br />

how well Nucleus 5 stands up to <strong>the</strong> “rough and tumble” <strong>life</strong> of a child.<br />

Sweat and grime or mud, ra<strong>in</strong> and snow. We’ve anticipated every move —<br />

and wea<strong>the</strong>r condition. When your child is runn<strong>in</strong>g down <strong>the</strong> soccer field,<br />

<strong>the</strong> only th<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong>ir m<strong>in</strong>d will be scor<strong>in</strong>g a goal. A titanium foundation,<br />

Teflon®-coated connectors and ultra-robust plastic ensure durability and<br />

carefree play. No worries for your child — and no worries for you because<br />

you’ll know that your child can always count on a world of sound.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> Nucleus® 5 System, your child's two<br />

controlled for easy bilateral use.<br />

"The best th<strong>in</strong>g about <strong>the</strong> cochlear<br />

Parent of Julian M. — Bilateral recipient<br />

Bilateral<br />

Sound<br />

Physicians, audiologists, teachers and cochlear<br />

implant recipients cont<strong>in</strong>ue to recommend bilateral<br />

cochlear implantation<br />

Hear<strong>in</strong>g with two ears — whe<strong>the</strong>r it be with two cochlear<br />

implants or a cochlear implant and a hear<strong>in</strong>g aid — provides<br />

an experience that hear<strong>in</strong>g with one ear cannot. 33<br />

implanT opTionS<br />

Some bilateral cochlear implant recipients receive two cochlear<br />

implants at <strong>the</strong> same time (simultaneous bilateral implantation).<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r bilateral cochlear implant recipients start with one<br />

cochlear implant, and <strong>the</strong>n follow-up with a second cochlear<br />

implant on <strong>the</strong> opposite ear (sequential bilateral implantation).<br />

There are a variety of reasons recipients may consider ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

option. Whe<strong>the</strong>r consider<strong>in</strong>g simultaneous or sequential<br />

bilateral implantation, it is important for you to discuss this<br />

option with your hear<strong>in</strong>g healthcare provider to determ<strong>in</strong>e<br />

<strong>the</strong> best approach for your child.<br />

<strong>in</strong>SuRance coveRaGe<br />

Bilateral cochlear implantation is covered by many health<br />

<strong>in</strong>surance providers. For example - United Healthcare, one of<br />

<strong>the</strong> largest health <strong>in</strong>surers <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States, allows for <strong>the</strong><br />

coverage of bilateral cochlear implants for adults and children.<br />

For additional <strong>in</strong>formation regard<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>surance coverage for<br />

bilateral implants, contact your audiologist or Cochlear OMS<br />

Discover<br />

Your child has just received <strong>the</strong>ir Nucleus® 5 Cochlear Implant. You now wonder.<br />

What will my voice sound like to my child? Will my child learn to speak? Will<br />

my child succeed? While a cochlear implant represents a world of opportunities,<br />

it’s important to remember that everyone is unique and results can differ from<br />

one person to <strong>the</strong> next. learn<strong>in</strong>g to listen and speak aga<strong>in</strong> (or for <strong>the</strong> first time)<br />

<strong>in</strong>volves a process of <strong>the</strong>rapy and tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g called habilitation, which is important<br />

to <strong>the</strong> hear<strong>in</strong>g experience.<br />

habiliTaTion foR childRen<br />

Children who have never experienced sound prior to implantation need habilitation <strong>in</strong> order to<br />

understand environmental sounds and speech. Just like a newborn, your child needs tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and<br />

experience to learn to listen. Educational environments that emphasize auditory skills development<br />

typically have a positive effect on a child’s speech and language progress. Family, friends, speech<br />

language pathologists, listen<strong>in</strong>g and spoken language specialists and o<strong>the</strong>r hear<strong>in</strong>g health<br />

professionals and educators all play crucial roles <strong>in</strong> help<strong>in</strong>g kids achieve <strong>the</strong> best outcomes possible.<br />
