Supporting Families After Cochlear Implantation in Tunisia to Empower Children’s Hearing and Communication

After completing precise hearing assessments for children benefiting from the “Hear Saudi” program in Tunisia, a crucial phase begins to enhance their ability to benefit from cochlear implantation and achieve the best possible outcomes. In this phase, the rehabilitation and speech therapy team conducts informative and awareness sessions for families, aiming to guide them on how to support their children at home after the surgery.

These sessions include instructions on how to properly use the device and provide practical guidance for interacting with the child—both during moments when additional support is needed and in daily interactions. The focus is on the importance of continuous stimulation to aid the child’s rehabilitation and improve their auditory and linguistic abilities. The program also aims to educate parents on how to create a stimulating home environment that enhances natural interaction and strengthens the child’s communication skills.

This step is vital to ensure the maximum benefit from the implant surgeries and to broaden the scope of psychological and educational support. It contributes to building a brighter future for the children and empowering them to participate actively in society. At the International Association “Al-Ameen”, we believe that collaboration between the team and the family is the foundation for success—and that every child deserves a life full of opportunity
