In hearing loss, there is a problem in the development of hearing and speech, since the passage of auditory signals to the relevant brain centers is incomplete. The way for people with hearing loss to gain early language-speaking skills, early diagnosis and treatment for the cause are very important. With auditory rehabilitation, the transmission of auditory signals to the brain and the interpretation and teaching of these signals are of vital importance for early language development.
With Cochlear Implant Surgery, individuals with severe hearing loss can hear, understand what they hear and speak, while the hearing aid only raises the sound, the bionic ear can be made bilaterally or unilaterally in all kinds of hearing loss.
Although bionic ear surgery is different from standard ear surgeries, it is a very easy and painless and fast recovery process for patients.
