25 FEBRUARY - Int. Cochlear Implant Day EURO-CIU would like to celebrate with all of you the International Cochlear Implant Day by spreading awareness about this incredible technology that has given more than 150,000 in Europe and nearly 400,000 people around the world, access to sounds. 60% implanted in adulthood and 40% as kids.
February 25 has been named “International Cochlear Implant Day” because on that day in 1957, two French doctors, André Djourno and Charles Eyriès, were the first to electrically stimulate the auditory nerve by placing an electrode outside the cochlea. So we are celebrating this year its 60th anniversary.
The first International CI Day was held in 2009 by the Spanish CI-users organisation ‘Federación AICE’, making this year the 8th one. Ever since more than 40 different countries all over the world have adopted this day to create awareness and positive media attention to cochlear implantations.
95% of the cochlear implant users are satisfied with their device and are able to hear again thanks to it.
EURO-CIU wants to remember, not all disabilities are visible with a simple look. Cochlear Implant users live in a society full of communication barriers, that is why is so important to us to bring down the communication barriers and have equal access to information and other public services. We are not invisible! Bring down the barriers! We can hear, now it is the turn of society to hear us!
Join our International Cochlear Day celebration on the 25th of February!

El #ImplanteCoclear no es lo mismo que un audífono, pues es implantado quirúrgicamente y funciona de manera diferente. Ayuda a las personas a escuchar y puede ser utilizado para personas sordas o que tengan muchas dificultades auditivas. #DíaInternacionalDelImplanteCoclear.

E' ovvio che Beethoven era un genio e che la sua sordita' non ha fermato il suo essere genio. Sarei curiosa di sapere cosa avrebbe pensato della sua musica se avesse avuto un impianto cocleare....e come sarebbe stata diversa la sua vita.
