Cochlear Implant
Service In Dhaka
Cochlear implants (CI) are electronic biomedical devices designed to restore the sensation of sound for children and adults with severe-to-profound sensorineural deafness. By directly stimulating the auditory nerve with precision electrical signals, a cochlear implant bypasses damaged sensory hair cells in the cochlea, empowering patients to perceive clear speech, develop spoken language, and connect with the world.

Cochlear Implant Services Offered by Shono Bangladesh
From initial audiological candidacy testing to surgical counseling, switch-on activation, and intensive post-implant speech therapy.
1. Pre-Implant Evaluation
Computerized Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), ABR, ASSR, OAE, Tympanometry, and speech recognition testing to determine surgical candidacy.
2. Surgical Collaboration
We collaborate with senior ENT skull-base surgeons in Dhaka for precise electrode placement, CT/MRI review, and intraoperative NRT testing.
3. Processor Mapping
Switch-on activation and ongoing programming (mapping) using high-precision software to adjust electrical stimulation thresholds (T & C levels).
4. Auditory Verbal Therapy
Certified Speech-Language Pathologists provide specialized AVT to train the child's brain to listen, decode sounds, and speak fluently.
Determining Eligibility for Cochlear Implantation
Cochlear implantation is recommended when powerful conventional hearing aids fail to deliver sufficient speech understanding. Candidates include:
Early implantation during critical brain neuroplasticity windows allows congenital deaf children to acquire normal spoken language.
Adults who previously heard and spoke but lost hearing due to illness, trauma, or ototoxic medication experience rapid restoration.
Cochlear implants restore binaural 360-degree hearing, sound localization, and eliminate head-shadow effects in noisy settings.
Appropriate Age for Implantation
"The earlier the intervention, the greater the outcome." Clinical research confirms that children implanted before age 2 achieve spoken language benchmarks indistinguishable from normal-hearing peers.
