The department of ENT, Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH),
Chandigarh recently performed a cochlear implant surgery on a three-year
old profoundly deaf child using a high-tech, safe cochlear implant
system from France. And the result has
been encouraging. The child suffered hearing loss after birth. The child is getting speech therapy and help for
cognitive development from the audiologist-cum-speech therapists at the
hospital.
