Cochlear Implant Surgery in West Bengal

Why Cochlear Implant Surgery Is Needed

Performed for patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who don't gain adequate benefit from hearing aids, most often due to damaged hair cells in the cochlea from genetic factors, infections, ototoxic medications, or age-related hearing loss. The implant bypasses the damaged hair cells and directly stimulates the auditory nerve to restore functional hearing.
