Cochlear Implant in Ahmedabad – Advanced Hearing Restoration
Ashwi ENT Hospital, located in the city of Ahmedabad, offers the most advanced cochlear implant surgery that exploits modern technology and skills of trained ENT surgeons, along with a partnership in rehabilitation after the surgery that is very comforting, thus making both children and adults able to hear again.
Cochlear Implant
A cochlear implant is a groundbreaking hearing system that is developed for people having deafness of severe to profound deafness and in those cases when the use of traditional hearing aids hardly brings any benefit. By converting the outside sounds into electric signals that stimulate the auditory nerve directly, the implant device thus avoids the damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea). This high-tech instrument encourages users to recognize the sounds and the speech more adequately, which in their turn, will not only improve the patients’ social lives but also their overall quality of life.
A cochlear implant allows the user to hear more clearly, even in a noisy environment, unlike regular hearing aids, which are only aimed at making the sounds louder. The device is made of two parts — one is the external processor that takes and processes the sound, and the other is an internal implant that generates the electrical signal, which is then sent to the auditory nerve.
