What is the Cochlear Provider Network?
The Cochlear Provider Network (CPN) enables independent dispensing audiology/ENT practices to expand their services to include cochlear implants and become part of a medical network that helps people with hearing loss achieve optimal outcomes.
Ensure patients get the care they need.
The landscape of hearing healthcare is changing and audiologists can shape the future of patient care. As a pioneer of implantable hearing solutions, Cochlear understands the unique value audiologists bring to treating patients. Many of the patients who would benefit from an implantable hearing solution are sitting in dispensing audiologists’ offices.
Differentiate your practice and expand services.
We know that you are the center of your patients’ hearing health care, and your opinion and knowledge drive their decision making process. By offering all hearing loss treatments – hearing aids, bone anchored, and cochlear implant solutions – you become the expert, consistently providing patient satisfaction. This expertise is a huge differentiator and a distinct advantage over those who have limited service offerings.

Cochlear Provider Network
The CPN is active in almost all 50 states and providers are trained on candidacy identification and evaluation, initial activation programming, as well as follow-up programming and audiology services. They are also educated on billing and reimbursement guidelines, counseling, troubleshooting, and self-help services, as well as ongoing support, inclusive of continued education, practice management resources, and events.
“Cochlear implants have helped to establish Davis Family Hearing as the hearing healthcare expert in the area, and most importantly, have allowed us to give people hope who otherwise didn’t have any.”
“Since becoming a CPN provider, I have more people coming through my door, some are buying hearing aids and some are getting supplies – it’s been an improvement for the business overall. The misconception of CI is that it’s the last resort for hearing and it doesn’t have to be – it’s the next step.”
“Financially — it really does have a financial benefit for a couple of reasons: it allows us to have additional referrals that we may not otherwise have; many patients also decide to keep the hearing aid on the other ear; because they’re happy and pleased with the results, they’ll often refer their friends and families to us.”
“Audiology Centers that offer cochlear implantation are really setting themselves apart to be able to provide comprehensive audiological services for all of their patients.”
“My journey with the Cochlear provider network has been amazing. I love the fact that we are a center that does everything and anything that would allow a patient to hear the best that they can. Bringing this into our practice has improved our patient’s lives.”
“We wanted to be more than just the place people went for hearing aids. We wanted to be the type of practice where any audiological need could be met, and when we had a patient who was a Cochlear implant candidate, we didn’t want to have to refer them elsewhere.”
