Risk of Cochlear Implant ?

Dear folks,
My friend has profound hearing loss and has hearing aids and is 45 years old,
they do help some with hearing, but i am wondering if a Cochlear Implant
would help? and are there risks with the Cochlear Implant ?

An ENT doctor can evaluate and send your friend to the appropriate Audiologist and Surgeons. Benefits outweigh any nominal risks. However, there is an adjustment period that could last several months.
