One of the important procedures is cochlear implantation.
Cochlear implant improves hearing by transmitting signals to the nervous system. Those with severe hearing loss can hear more sounds with cochlear implant surgery.
Cochlear implants consist of two main parts: processor and receivers of audio signals. The external part of the cochlear implant is placed behind the ear and is responsible for transmitting sound signals to the sound receptors. If you listen to the photo of the cochlear implant, you will notice that you can see this part and it is located behind the ear.
Cochlear implantation in children
In babies born with hearing problems, treatments other than implantation should be performed before 9 months of age, and if the child cannot regain hearing, it is a suitable candidate for cochlear implantation. It is better to perform the surgery before the age of 18 months, because as the age increases, environmental sounds become harder. Also, undergoing hearing rehabilitation and speech therapy are important principles that can affect the outcome of surgery and increase hearing.
Cochlear implantation in adults
One of the positive features of cochlear implant surgery is that it has no age limit and can be performed on adults as well as children. Cochlear implant images confirm this and you can see that both children and adults can undergo this surgery to improve hearing.
But it is necessary for adults to have physical health to perform the operation.
