Choosing Fortis Hospital for Cochlear Implant gives patients access to experienced otologists, audiologists, advanced surgical facilities, and comprehensive hearing rehabilitation. Established in 2011, the NABH, NABL accredited hospital in Kolkata, India has 400 beds and provides specialized hearing care.

Cochlear Implant is recommended for carefully selected patients whose hearing loss is severe enough that hearing aids provide insufficient benefit. The procedure involves positioning an internal receiver-stimulator beneath the skin and inserting a flexible electrode array into the cochlea. The external sound processor captures sound and converts it into signals that are transmitted to the internal device. After surgical healing, the processor is fitted and programmed, and patients usually undergo structured auditory rehabilitation to develop listening skills.
