Track: ENT cochlear implants

Cochlear Implant Components

A cochlear implant consists of two main parts: the external microphone and speech processor that capture sound and convert it into digital signals, and the internal implant that is surgically placed under the skin behind the ear. The internal component includes a receiver and electrode array that stimulates the auditory nerve.

Indications for Cochlear Implants

Cochlear implants are recommended for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in both ears who do not benefit from hearing aids. They are suitable for both children and adults, particularly those who lose their hearing after language development.

Surgical Procedure

The cochlear implant surgery involves placing the internal components under the skin behind the ear and inserting the electrode array into the cochlea. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a short hospital stay.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

After implantation, patients undergo audiological rehabilitation to optimize the performance of the device. This involves regular adjustments and speech therapy to help patients adapt to the sounds they hear through the implant.

Benefits and Outcomes

Cochlear implants can restore hearing, improve speech recognition, and enable individuals to engage in conversations, watch television, and participate in social interactions. Outcomes vary based on factors such as age of implantation, length of hearing loss, and post-surgery rehabilitation, but many patients experience significant improvements in communication abilities.
