While this number is indeed staggering, this needn't be the case. A good number of people can get relief from hearing loss by getting a cochlear implant. This process involving a minor surgery and some treatment can provide considerable relief and help integrate people, especially children with hearing loss into the society.

Blindness separates people from the word, speech impairment separates people from people.

Deafness or hearing impairment can cause considerable mental health issues including depression and stress disorders. Restoring hearing may improve one’s mental health significantly and help them regain their happiness.

A cochlear implant helps achieve this, and more.

Here are some advantages of having a cochlear implant!

• The person with hearing loss may be able to hear at a near normal level.
• By consulting an audiologist and obtaining the necessary treatment, children with hearing loss can attend mainstream schools and be integrated into normal society.
• The solution is a permanent one, and a very effective one at that.
• Scarring is minimal and the minimally invasive procedure offers immense benefits.

In addition to the aforementioned factors the patient may be able to communicate without lip reading, talk on the phone and hear the TV and other musical devices. Additionally, they can even control their own voice and speak more clearly.

If you have a loved one who suffers from hearing loss help them by gifting them the gift of hearing.
