What is Cochlear Implant?

A cochlear implant is a surgically placed electronic device that bypasses damaged parts of the ear to provide a sense of sound for people with severe-to-profound hearing loss. It involves surgery plus programming and auditory rehabilitation. Indian ENT centers offer cochlear implantation, including leading device brands, at significantly lower cost than the US.
