Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need Cochlear Implant Surgery?

Cochlear implant surgery is recommended for severe hearing loss or deafness when hearing aids fail. It bypasses damaged ear parts to stimulate the auditory nerve directly, restoring sound perception. Your audiologist will evaluate your hearing loss severity.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

Hearing tests and scans assess ear anatomy and candidacy.

Anesthesia

General anesthesia ensures no pain during surgery.

Surgical Procedure

Implant placed under skin; electrode inserted into cochlea.

Closing & Recovery

Incision closed; device activated after healing.

Surgery takes 2-4 hours. Your surgeon and audiologist will explain the process.

What Could Go Wrong?

Cochlear implant surgery is generally safe, but risks include:

Infection at the implant site

Device failure or malfunction

Facial nerve injury

Dizziness or balance issues

Serious complications are rare (less than 5%). SB Medical Travels ensures top ENT care.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation ensures a successful surgery and outcome:

Before Surgery:

  • Fast for 8-12 hours before anesthesia

  • Review medications with your doctor

  • Pack for a short hospital stay

  • Arrange support for post-op adjustments

SB Medical Travels provides a tailored checklist and support for your preparation.
