Understanding Cochlear Implants

Cochlear implants are electronic medical devices that bypass damaged inner ear structures and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. They are designed for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who do not benefit enough from hearing aids.

Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants do not amplify sound; they convert sound into electrical signals that the brain interprets as hearing. The goal is to improve speech understanding, awareness of environmental sounds, and overall communication.

Dr. Varun Dave provides end-to-end cochlear implant care, from detailed evaluation to surgery, device activation, and rehabilitation.
