- Neurosurgery
- Audiology
Background:
- Cochlear implantation has emerged as a significant advancement in treating severe to profound hearing loss.
- Patient referrals for hearing loss evaluation have been consistent, with a subset presenting complex otological conditions.
- Far-advanced otosclerosis represents a specific challenge in audiological management.
