Overview

Hearing loss invariably makes everyday life burdensome without the aid of an additional hearing device or assistant. Sometimes, it even falls short of providing relief for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The solution exists today in cochlear implant surgery.

What is ABI (Cochlear Implant Surgery)?

A cochlear implant is a small electronic device surgically implanted by doctors to replace the defective inner part of the ear, the cochlea. This device connects directly to the auditory nerve and helps individuals hear sounds and voices without needing a traditional hearing aid. This surgery has transformed millions of lives, enabling people to listen and speak effectively.

Cochlear implant surgery is suitable for both children and adults who are deaf by birth or due to injury, infection, or aging. Conducted by highly experienced ENT surgeons, it boasts a high success rate in improving speech perception, sound perception, and auditory communication.

Parts of a Cochlear Implant System

• External Sound Processor: Worn like a hearing aid, it receives sound waves and transmits them as electrical signals to the internal implant.
• Internal Implants (Electrode Arrays): These provide electrical signals to the auditory nerves, allowing individuals to perceive sound.

How Cochlear Implant Surgery Works

The surgery involves two main stages:

• First Stage: Surgical implantation of the internal device, where the electrode array is placed in the cochlea. The internal receiver is positioned behind the ear and under the skin to stimulate the auditory nerve.
• Second Stage: 2–4 weeks after surgery, the external sound processor is activated. It receives sound and transmits signals to the implant, training the brain to adapt to the new way of hearing.

Who Needs Cochlear Implant Surgery?

This surgery is ideal for individuals with complete deafness or congenital hearing loss due to:

• Head injury or trauma
• Diseases or infections such as Meningitis, Measles, or Mumps
