Cochlear implant program

The cochlear implant program at Sunnybrook is the largest such program for adults in Canada, and amongst the largest in North America. As the designated coordinating site for the province of Ontario, the Ontario Cochlear Implant Program (OCIP) has the mandate of establishing quality metrics and deliverables in the provisional of care in this area. The program is affiliated with the University of Toronto and partnered, through the university, with the pediatric Cochlear Implant Program at the Hospital for Sick Children.

The program is currently the only site for auditory brainstem implant surgery in English Canada. Since 1984, our program activities have held many first-in-class claims in Canada.

We are able to service patients with all four cochlear implant manufacturers:

• Advanced Bionics

• MED-EL
• Neurelec/Oticon
