Cochlear Implant Surgery in India - Hearing Loss

A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted neuroprosthetic device that provides a sense of sound to a person with moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Both adults and children depend on hearing for their ability to perform daily activities - be it school or work. One needs hearing to process information in the environment and to communicate using speech. According to the World Health Organization, hearing loss is one of the leading global diseases. There are many causes of hearing loss which include loud sound exposure, infections or diseases, accidental trauma, ototoxic drugs, aging, and hereditary. These losses adversely affect one’s ability to work and process sound.

Cochlear Implants and Cochlear Implant Surgery in India
Cochlear implant surgery is the treatment option for the rehabilitation of patients with deafness or hearing loss. A cochlear implant is an electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person with severe hearing loss or profoundly deaf. The implant consists of two portions: an external portion sits behind the ear and the other portion is surgically placed under the skin.
