The Ear Foundation was established in 1989 to encourage the innovative technology of cochlear implantation, offering useful hearing to profoundly deaf children. About 1,900 children in the UK now use cochlear implants and they need continued support.

A hospital-based programme alone cannot meet the needs of these children and their families. In its new Children's Cochlear Implant Centre, the Ear Foundation uniquely bridges the gap between the work of the specialist clinic and the child's community, where the implant will be used in everyday communication. There is a full programme of parent, family and professionals courses throughout the year.
