Introduction
Ear implant surgeries are procedures to treat various types of hearing loss by implanting a device in the inner ear. Cochlear implants are used for severe to profound hearing loss, and bone-anchored hearing aids are used for conductive hearing loss. The surgery involves implanting a small device that converts sound into electrical signals, which are then sent to the inner ear. Patients may need to undergo several follow-up appointments and therapy sessions to adjust to the implant and improve their hearing abilities.
Cochlear Implants Surgery
Cochlear implant surgery is a procedure that involves implanting an electronic device in the inner ear to provide hearing for individuals with severe or profound hearing loss. The implant bypasses the damaged parts of the ear and stimulates the auditory nerve directly, enabling the brain to perceive sound. Rehabilitation and follow-up care are essential for successful outcomes.
BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid)
A Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) is a device that uses bone conduction to transmit sound to the inner ear. It consists of a small titanium implant that is surgically placed in the skull and an external sound processor that attaches to the implant. BAHA is commonly used to treat hearing loss caused by problems with the middle or outer ear.
Middle Ear Prosthesis
A middle ear prosthesis is a small device used to replace one or more of the tiny bones in the middle ear that have been damaged or removed due to injury or disease. The prosthesis is surgically implanted and connects the remaining bones in the middle ear to restore normal hearing function.
Vestibular Implant
A vestibular implant is a device that is surgically implanted into the inner ear to help restore balance in individuals with severe vestibular dysfunction. The implant works by sending electrical signals to the vestibular nerve, which is responsible for detecting changes in head position and movement. The goal is to improve balance, reduce falls, and enhance overall quality of life.
