title: Cochlear implants: an educational perspective past, present, and future.
abstract: The purpose of this presentation was to explore the past, present, and future of cochlear implants (CIs) using an educational perspective. The presentation uses a range of ways to explore these themes from school data to pupil contributions. Current issues relating to CIs are investigated from school, pupil, and parental perspectives. Future considerations relating to pupils, CI management, and training are discussed. In conclusion, in educational settings staff work with students who have both hearing aids, CIs, or a combination of the two and therefore all professionals need to prepare for the future by blending services and training.
