Area of Science:

  • Otology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Deafness often stems from cochlear hair cell defects.
  • Cochlear implants provide hearing restoration via electric nerve stimulation.
  • This study reports on 35 adults and 20 children treated with cochlear implants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of cochlear implant treatment in adults and children.
  • To assess the impact of cochlear implants on hearing and speech capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Candidates undergo extensive pre-operative investigation.
  • Surgical implantation is performed under general anesthesia.
  • Hearing tests and speech evaluations assess treatment outcomes.

Main Results:
