Treatments

Hearing implants may be recommended for people with severe hearing loss who do not benefit enough from hearing aids. We would recommend it to patients, especially children, who had experienced severe to profound hearing loss and had failed to respond to conventional hearing aids at Vikram ENT Hospital. You can feel a great difference after Implant Otology when sounds are remote or totally unheard.

We provide Cochlear Implants depending on the type or severity of hearing loss, including bone-anchored hearing aids and middle ear implants. Our ENT Specialist in Coimbatore will examine each patient individually and subsequently prescribe the right implant.

We implant a Cochlear Implant, which requires a small electronic device placed under the skin behind the ear. A Cochlear Implant includes an internal device placed under the skin behind the ear and an electrode inserted into the cochlea. It helps send sound signals to the auditory nerve.

At Vikram ENT, our most experienced doctor, Dr. P.G. Visvanathan, and his team of surgeons use the most recent technologies in microsurgery to make the process as precise as possible and the recovery as comfortable as possible.

Yes, Cochlear Implant Surgery is a proven international surgery. Our ENT Hospital in Coimbatore has surgical equipment that is internationally dependable and meets high standards of NABH-accredited procedures. All patients are assessed in a holistic way before surgery. Surgery is recommended only after a complete medical and hearing assessment. With 50 years of experience

The need for surgery is usually advised when the patient has a severe sensorineural hearing loss in both ears, lacks understanding of speech despite hearing aids, and is overall in good health. We evaluate both the adults and the children. In fact, there is much improved speech and language with early childhood implantation.

After a successful operation, patients undergo programmed activation and rehabilitation after surgery for Cochlear Implants. Our audiologists and speech therapists closely collaborate with our team at Vikram ENT to make you or your child accustomed to hearing with the implant, as the surgery is only the start.

Surgery is typically two to four hours long and under general anesthesia. The majority of patients can be discharged in a day or two. We have a surgical team in Vikram ENT Hospital and we make sure that all the steps are planned and the procedure is efficient, safe and as stress-free as possible to the family.

The surgery for the Cochlear Implant at Vikram ENT Hospital is made affordable due to flexible payment plans and advice on government schemes such as ADIP (Assistance to Disabled Persons), which cover part or all of the cost of implants for eligible patients. Our team helps families to learn and access available financial aid to ensure that cost is never an obstacle to treatment. In our opinion, all children who deserve to have better hearing should receive it irrespective of their financial status. We have a counseling team who take you through the entire financial procedure until surgery.

The Cost of Cochlear Implant Surgery in Coimbatore varies. It depends on the type of Cochlear Implant, the hospital and the surgeon's expertise.
