• Audiology tests such as hearing levels with and without hearing aids, speech understanding, and auditory nerve function.
• Medical tests and MRI scans to determine general health, evaluate the cause of the hearing loss and assess the hearing anatomy.

Implant Surgery for kids & adults
The implant surgery is done in our partner hospital based in Chennai. The implant procedure usually takes between 1 and 3 hours. Thousands of implant surgeries are performed each year. The risks involved are small, and our surgeon will discuss them with you. The major steps involved in an implant surgery are as listed below.
- A surgical cut is made behind your ear.
- An implant electrode is inserted into the cochlea.
- A receiver is placed under the skin behind your ear.
- After completion of surgery you’ll be moved to the observation room.
- You will be discharged after observation
Cochlear Mapping
Within a few weeks of surgery, our audiologist will be able to activate the cochlear implant. We will program the device to suit your unique hearing needs, fine tuning the settings over a few follow-up sessions. We allow you to choose appointments in a most convenient way that suits your timing.
Mapping refers to programming of the speech processor of the cochlear implant. First mapping session is called “switch-on”. Our audiologist will program the implant and this will be over different session at regular intervals so that the you can hear very soft sounds and also loud sounds at a comfortable level. Stimulation levels of the implant electrode array are adjusted in the mapping process so that you can hear wide range of sounds in a comfortable manner.
Regular mapping is required as maps become weak or less clear as tissues grow around the implant electrode. This will result in sound becoming less clear or not being heard as loud enough. Our audiologist will work along with you in the post treatment process ensuring regular sessions to adjust mapping as required.
If you are a cochlear implant user and looking for mapping services our audiologist in Chennai can guide you through the process.
