At Dr. Rela Institute and Medical Centre, Cochlear Implant is performed using advanced cochlear implant technology and personalized treatment plans. Established in 2018, this NABH, NABL accredited hospital in Chennai, India has 450 beds and offers comprehensive audiology, ENT, and hearing rehabilitation services.

Cochlear Implant may be considered for children or adults with significant sensorineural hearing loss when conventional hearing aids do not provide adequate access to speech and sound. Before implantation, patients undergo detailed hearing tests, audiological evaluation, imaging when appropriate, and medical assessment to determine suitability. The surgeon places the implant under the skin behind the ear and guides the electrode array into the cochlea. Once the device is activated, ongoing programming and auditory training are important parts of the treatment process.
