Clinical Procedure for Cochlear Implant Services

At Denoc, we follow a comprehensive clinical pathway to ensure safe, effective, and personalized cochlear implant outcomes. Our multidisciplinary team of audiologists, ENT surgeons, and speech-language therapists work together to support you through each stage of the implant process.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

Initial Consultation & Counseling

Our expert audiologists conduct a detailed consultation to understand your hearing history, challenges, and expectations. We also educate patients and families about the cochlear implant journey.

Comprehensive Audiological Assessment

  • Pure tone audiometry
  • Speech audiometry
  • Tympanometry & acoustic reflex testing
  • Aided audiometry (with hearing aids)
  • OAE & BERA/ABR (especially for children)

Medical Evaluation & Imaging

ENT consultation along with MRI or CT scans to assess cochlear structure, auditory nerve function, and surgical feasibility.

Psychological & Language Evaluation

For children and select adults, psychological and language tests are performed to determine cognitive readiness and measure current speech-language development.

Implant Candidacy Decision

Our team will review the combined results to determine whether a cochlear implant is the most beneficial solution and recommend the appropriate device.

Surgical Coordination

Surgery is scheduled at our partner hospital in Chennai. Denoc coordinates all pre-operative steps and post-operative recovery plans.

Post-Surgery Activation & Mapping

Around 2–4 weeks post-surgery, the implant is activated and programmed during the “switch-on” session. Subsequent mapping appointments fine-tune the device for optimal hearing.

Speech Therapy & Rehabilitation

Ongoing speech and auditory training is recommended to help patients adapt and make the most of their cochlear implant.

Patient Prior Preparation

Preparing for cochlear implant services at Denoc is straightforward, but a few steps will ensure a smooth experience:

  • No fasting required for diagnostic tests, unless specified for imaging by the ENT surgeon.
  • Bring previous hearing test records, hearing aid details, and any past ENT or neurological reports.
  • For children, try to schedule appointments during their most alert and cooperative time of day.
  • Avoid applying lotions or oils near the ears or scalp on the day of evaluation.
  • If MRI or surgery is scheduled, follow the specific fasting and pre-procedure guidelines provided by the Denoc team.
