CIICA

Welcome to CIICA! A new growing Cochlear Implant International Community of Action. CIICA provides an opportunity for a new way of working for CI advocacy groups, bro gong them together with opportunities for sharing and collaboration to strengthen the user and family voice.

Millions of adults live with untreated hearing loss. On CI International Day and CIICA’s 5th anniversary, we’re proud to launch our new report: “Adult Hearing Screening: Why Wait?” It’s time for earlier diagnosis and stronger hearing care globally! ciicanet.org/resources/

This #WorldHearingDay, we’re creating space for young adults with cochlear implants to share real experiences of accessibility in school & higher education. Have a story to share? We’d love to hear from you. 📅 3 March 2026 🕖 7PM (UK) Secure your spot ciicanet.org/events/ci-youn…
