Adults and children with severe and profound hearing loss in even one ear. Generally, cochlear implant candidates struggle despite well fit hearing aids. A key hint that it is time to consider a cochlear implant is when the telephone becomes difficult in the affected ear. Some CI candidate do quite well in quiet but find any amount of background noise to make it impossible to hear. For children, speech and language skills will not grow with even the most powerful hearing aids. Early intervention for children is crucial––months matter in terms of speech and language development.

Dr. Ruffin was the first person in over 10 years to actually take the time to really listen to me. He took the time to figure out what’s actually going on without chalking it up to something simple and sending me on my way.
I really appreciated Chad's honesty with options, having surgery being a last result and most of all explaining everything in layman's terms. I couldn't be happier with my experience and really appreciate him getting to the bottom of my ear issue and making it feel better than it ever has!
Dr. Ruffin was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. He took the time to fully understand the issues and was able to provide immediate relief. Nothing short of a miracle here. Furthermore, the entire team was very kind and professional. One of the best medical experiences I have had!
