Cochlear Implant Service at Burjeel Hospital Al Dhannah provides advanced hearing restoration solutions for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss who receive limited or no benefit from conventional hearing aids. We offer a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program that supports patients from initial assessment through surgery, activation, and rehabilitation.
A cochlear implant is an advanced electronic medical device designed to bypass damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea) and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sound, cochlear implants convert sound into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain, allowing individuals with significant hearing loss to perceive sound more effectively.
Who Can Benefit from a Cochlear Implant?
Cochlear implants may be suitable for:
- Patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in one or both ears
- Individuals who receive minimal benefit from hearing aids
- Adults and children with hearing loss that affects communication and quality of life
- Patients who are medically fit for surgical implantation and motivated for rehabilitation
