Cochlear implants are advanced medical devices that can restore hearing for individuals with severe or profound hearing loss who gain little benefit from hearing aids. Unlike regular hearing aids, which only amplify sound, cochlear implants directly stimulate the auditory nerve, helping the brain recognize sounds and speech more clearly. This technology can greatly improve communication, independence, and quality of life, especially when combined with appropriate speech and language therapy and family support. Through this session, understand the key facts, benefits, and critical considerations about cochlear implantation.
The NIDAS webinar creates awareness among people especially parents and caregivers of the individuals with disability, and thus provides a platform to share their concerns and clear doubts.
