Cochlear implantation is a surgical procedure where an electronic device is implanted behind the ear with an electrode (wire with contact points) is inserted into the cochlea, to bypass the damaged “hair cells” which is believed to cause hearing loss. Cochlear implantation surgery, now performed worldwide in over a 100,000 people has evolved to become one of the safest surgeries ever performed. At Dr. Manoj’s ENT Institute, over 112 surgeries have been performed, with new technological advances like the “D” well, which protects the implants against shocks and falls that young children are susceptible to. We also pioneered the minimal access surgery in this part of the country. This institute is also known for the highest proportion of very young children implanted in the country.
