Cochlear Implants
Cochlear implants are small, surgically implanted medical devices that improve hearing in people who have severe hearing loss. They don't restore your hearing, but they can help you understand speech better and hear more sounds around you.
Who Can Benefit from Cochlear Implants
- Children born with hearing loss.
- Individuals with severe hearing loss that hearing aids can't improve.
- Individuals who are unable to understand speech, even with lipreading.
- Individuals who may be missing out on essential sounds and conversations.
Cochlear implant services at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) may be able to transform your life. We cater to individuals of all ages with severe to profound hearing loss.
