A cochlear implant is a small electronic medical device designed to help individuals with severe to profound hearing loss who do not benefit adequately from hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sound, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve, allowing the brain to perceive sound.
External Part – Worn behind the ear; it captures sound through a microphone, processes it, and sends it to the internal part.
Internal Part (Implanted Surgically) – Placed under the skin and inside the cochlea; it receives sound signals and stimulates the auditory nerve using electrodes.
A cochlear implant is recommended when:
A person has severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in one or both ears.
Hearing aids are no longer effective in providing adequate sound perception.
The individual, especially a child, is missing critical speech and language development milestones.
There is a need for better access to sound for improved communication, education, and social interaction.
Cochlear implants are commonly used for infants as young as 9-12 months, children, and adults who qualify based on medical and audiological evaluations.
AVT is essential:
After cochlear implantation, to teach the brain how to interpret the new auditory input.
For infants and children with cochlear implants to support listening and spoken language development.
When families want their child to use spoken language as their primary mode of communication, rather than sign language.
Throughout the rehabilitation phase, to reinforce listening skills and speech clarity.
AVT is most effective when started early after activation of the cochlear implant, ideally within weeks, and continued consistently for best outcomes.
A Cochlear Implant is an advanced medical device designed to provide a sense of sound to individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who do not benefit from hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids that amplify sound, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Cochlear implant surgery involves placing the implant under the skin behind the ear and inserting electrodes into the cochlea. After surgery, the process doesn’t end—post cochlear implant rehabilitation is essential to help the individual adapt to hearing through the device. This includes cochlear implant mapping, a procedure where the audiologist programs the device to optimize hearing performance by adjusting sound levels and frequencies based on the recipient’s responses. A critical component of rehabilitation is Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT), a specialized, parent-centered therapy that focuses on teaching children with hearing loss to use their residual hearing through listening and spoken language, rather than sign language. AVT plays a crucial role in maximizing the benefits of a cochlear implant, especially in children, by promoting language development and effective communication skills in everyday life.

Improves communication ability and social integration.
Suitable for both children and adults with qualifying hearing loss.
