What is the success and failure rate of cochlear implants by various
clinics in the United States? Please be specific about the various clinics.

There are many clinics that say they can perform this procedure, but
since it is rare, there must be some that do more of these procedures
that others. None of them seem to have much information on the success
rate of the procedure.

I will have a follow up question that I am not sure if it can be
included in this question. The follow up question is: What health
insurance companies offer the best coverage for this procedure?

Thank you.

Information should be geared toward adult cochlear implants. We want
to end up with specifics on certain clinics that perform more of these
procedures, rather than statistics in general.
