What is a Cochlear Implant
A cochlear implant helps give a person a sense of sound. It doesn't restore hearing to normal. However, it can help a person understand speech and noises in the environment. Learn more about cochlear implants, criteria for cochlear implants, surgery and activation and programming.
Step By Step Cochlear Implantation
The patient undergoes routine ENT examination, followed by hearing testing, which may consist of audiometry, otoacoustic emissions, or auditory brainstem response tests.
Cochlear Implant Rehabilitation
While the cochlear implant provides access to sound, understanding takes more than just hearing. Intensive individualized habilitation (intervention for patients who have never heard before) and rehabilitation (intervention for patients who are learning to hear again) allows for optimal gains for all recipients.
New Treatment Option
We can perform cochlear implantation for patients with single-side deafness, even if the other ear is not impaired.
