Cochlear Implant Program

Cochlear implantations are for patients suffering with hearing losses, and who are unable to efficiently manage other hearing aids. Implants do not restore normal hearing, and the patients feel that the sound is mechanical. It is only with time and trial that the brain familiarizes with the new sound and speech signals and environmental sounds. Cochlear implants help in:   

• Lip reading
• Improved perception of environment sounds
• Monitoring the volume of one's own voice

ENT Specialists at Sunshine's ENT outpatient clinic understand and treat a wide range of hearing, balance and communication disorders. The Cochlear Implant program is a significant initiative towards Sunshine’s commitment to help restore hearing to deaf children and adults. A multi-disciplinary team comprising of consultants belonging to various clinical areas like otology, audiology, speech pathology and psychology work in unison to make the program a tremendous success.
