Cochlear implant surgery can treat sensorineural hearing loss

Cochlear implant surgery is done in India for the treatment of severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in children as well as an adult when hearing aids fail to provide benefits.  In India for every 1000 births 3 to 4 children are born deaf & many more become deaf in the first 2 to 4 years of their life because of childhood infections. Nowadays with the universal newborn hearing screening program hearing  can be tested on day one of birth with the help of a simple screening test called OAE -oto acoustic Emissions.

Through this test you can come to know that a child will hear or not & if the test is refer then a repeat test is done after ENT  consult and with further refer an advanced  test called BERA( brain stem evoked response audiometry) is done and if a child is found to be suffering from severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss where hearing aids do not give any benefit and after few  radiological test like CT scan and MRI of the ear  are done to see if the cochlea ( the main organ of hearing ) and the auditory/ cochlear nerve of hearing is present, then the  child can undergo a cochlear  implant surgery . 

What’s the most important is early the age of implantation the better the result in terms of speech & language acquisition for the child. Starting early and starting right as the maximum brain development take place within the first 2 years of age a child & called as brain plasticity. A child who undergoes implant as early as 9 month up till 18 months of age can develop normal speech and language and can go to a normal school & can get formal school education like any other child. 

Currently in India the average age of cochlear implant is about 4 to 5 years and because of this delay in implantation most of the children are not able to attend formal school education. with the latest criteria of WHO of the rule of 1, 3& 6 months   that is detection at 1month, complete diagnosis at 3 months and intervention at 6 month with hearing aid trial and therapy and undergoing a bilateral cochlear implant surgery as early as 9 months of age will enable these children to not only get back their hearing but also have normal speech and language acquisition like any other normal child in the society.

The message is very clear: do not waste time in alternate modes of therapy if your child has been diagnosed with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss.
