(ii.) Special Unit
Cochlear Implant Unit
The Department of ENT has special cochlear implant unit. Cochlear implants are electronic medical devices that replace the function of the damaged inner ear. Unlike hearing aids, which make sounds louder, cochlear implants mimic the work of damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea) to provide sound signals to the brain. Cochlear implants bypass damaged hair cells in the inner ear and directly stimulate auditory nerve endings with the electrical impulses using an array of implanted electrodes. It is designed for people whose hearing does not improve with surgical correction or with the use of a hearing aid.

The Cochlear Implant Unit focuses to improve the quality of life of children with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss by facilitating hearing and communication. We work with children who are considering cochlear implants (Under Govt ADIP Scheme) and those who have undergone implantation. The unit functions as a team which includes ENT surgeon, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists and auditory-verbal therapists.
