Bringing a ray of hope for those children who are born deaf, the
department of ENT at Government Medical College & Hospital, Sector
32 has recently performed a state of the art cochlear implant surgery on
a three-year-old deaf child. Using the high-tech and safe 20 Channel
Digisonic Cochlear Implant System, the surgery was performed on the
International Ear and Hearing Care Day. After recovery, the implant
was switched-on and has responded very well.
The child is now getting speech therapy and help for cognitive development.
