We have designed Cochlear's professional education programmes to help you develop or enhance the skills you need to work with implantable hearing technology.

Cochlear is proud to help prepare surgeons, audiologists, speech therapists and other hearing health professionals for today's clinical challenges.

Through our professional engagement programmes we offer a variety of courses and trainings for all levels of expertise, which will help you develop or enhance the skills you need to work with implantable hearing technology.

Real-world experience

Hands-on training with sound processors and software is important for any professional who is learning about cochlear implants. Our workshops – which we hold in various locations around the world – offer hands-on training in a group setting.

We also run temporal bone labs for otolaryngologists new to cochlear implantation, as well as for experienced implant physicians seeking an update. The course covers surgical techniques for cochlear implantation specific to the Nucleus® electrode portfolio. The programme includes a combination of didactic sessions, interactive discussion, and hands-on drilling in the temporal bone lab.
