Cochlear Implant, BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid), and Vibrant Sound Bridge

Cochlear Implants & Hearing Solutions in Bangalore

Cochlear implants, bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA), and the Vibrant Sound Bridge offer advanced solutions for individuals with significant hearing loss. For those who do not benefit from traditional hearing aids, these options can be life-changing. Cochlear implants directly stimulate the auditory nerve, bypassing damaged inner ear structures to restore sound perception. BAHA devices, on the other hand, use bone conduction to transmit sound directly to the inner ear, effectively bypassing the outer and middle ear.

The Vibrant Sound Bridge is another innovative option. It is a middle ear implant designed for individuals with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. It works by directly vibrating the middle ear structures, providing enhanced sound quality and clarity compared to traditional hearing aids. This device is particularly beneficial for those who have difficulty with external hearing aids due to ear infections or malformed ear canals.

The procedure begins with a comprehensive assessment of hearing function, including audiometry, speech recognition tests, and imaging studies to evaluate suitability for the implant. For cochlear implants, surgery involves implanting an electrode array in the cochlea. The Vibrant Sound Bridge surgery involves placing a small vibrating device on the middle ear bones, enhancing sound transmission. BAHA surgery requires attaching a titanium post to the skull, where the hearing device is later fitted. Post-surgery, audiologists closely work with patients to fine-tune and customize settings for optimal hearing outcomes, followed by rehabilitation to help adjust to new sounds, thus enhancing communication and daily experiences.
