Welcome to the Cochlear Implanted Children’s Support Group website

CICS is an independent, voluntary group run by parents whose children have cochlear implants to help others whose children already have implants and those who are considering cochlear implantation for their child whether unilateral, simultaneous or sequential bilateral.

We offer first-hand experience of the difference that cochlear implantation can make to the lives of deaf children and their families. We can help with issues that surround life with an implanted child to provide a vital part of the pre and post implantation process – support for parents by parents.
We have over 1,400 families in our database and can match families by individual circumstances such as their child’s cause of deafness, method of communication, additional needs, etc.
