Cochlear implants are designed for individuals with severe hearing loss who don’t benefit from hearing aids. They work by bypassing damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulating the auditory nerve, providing clearer sound. Hearing aids amplify sound for those with mild to moderate hearing loss, featuring modern technologies like noise reduction and smartphone connectivity. Both options are tailored to improve communication and quality of life. Our expert team ensures personalized care and optimal results.

Our Procedure

1

Cochlear Evaluation

Our comprehensive cochlear implant evaluation includes detailed hearing tests, imaging studies and consultations to assess your candidacy for the implant. This process helps determine if a cochlear implant is the right solution for your hearing needs.
2

Pre-Op Counseling

Before the cochlear implant surgery, we provide thorough counseling to explain the procedure, set realistic expectations, and address any concerns. This ensures you are well-informed and prepared for the surgery and the rehabilitation process.

Cochlear Surgery

The cochlear implant surgery involves placing a small electronic device behind the ear and an electrode array in the cochlea. Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure precise placement and optimal function, aiming for the best possible hearing outcomes.
4

Hearing Aid Fitting

For hearing aid users, we offer personalized fitting and adjustment services. This includes selecting the appropriate device, customizing it to your hearing loss profile and fine-tuning settings to enhance your listening experience in various environments.
5

Post-Op Mapping

After cochlear implant surgery, regular follow-up appointments are essential for programming the device (mapping) and monitoring your progress. Our team provides ongoing support to adjust the device settings and ensure effective hearing rehabilitation.

Auditory Rehab

Post-implantation, auditory rehabilitation helps you adapt to the new sounds and improve your listening skills. We offer therapy and support services to help you make the most of your cochlear implant or hearing aid, enhancing communication and daily life.

Signs and Symptoms

Hearing Loss

Experiencing significant difficulty hearing conversations, especially in noisy environments, or frequently needing to turn up the volume on TV or phone calls, may indicate a level of hearing loss that could benefit from advanced solutions like cochlear implants or high-performance hearing aids.

Difficulty Understanding Speech

Struggling to understand speech even in quiet settings, or needing to rely heavily on lip-reading or context clues, suggests that traditional hearing aids might not be providing sufficient clarity, and a cochlear implant could offer improved speech comprehension

Muffled or Distorted Sounds

If sounds consistently appear muffled or distorted, even with hearing aids properly adjusted, it may indicate that the hearing aid alone is not addressing the root of the issue, and a cochlear implant could provide clearer, more natural sound quality.

Struggling in Noisy Environments

Having trouble following conversations or distinguishing sounds in environments with background noise, despite using hearing aids, can be a sign that cochlear implants might provide enhanced auditory processing and better performance in complex listening situations.

Hearing Aid Discomfort

Persistent discomfort or irritation from wearing hearing aids, such as soreness in the ear or feeling of pressure, could indicate a need for a different hearing solution, like cochlear implants, which might offer a more comfortable and effective way to address hearing loss.

Hearing Loss Progression

A noticeable worsening in hearing ability over time that impacts daily activities and interactions may suggest that your current hearing aids are no longer sufficient, and exploring cochlear implants could be a viable option to restore hearing function and improve overall quality of life.
