Successful Cochlear Implants Performed on Two Infants at Nicosia General Hospital

The Cochlear and Other Auditory Implant Center of Nicosia General Hospital has announced the successful completion of cochlear implants on two seven-month-old infants. This development marks a significant milestone for pediatric otosurgery, as the Center is implementing the international trend of implanting at an age younger than nine months, now even six months. Early implantation is considered crucial for the development of speech, communication, and social integration of children, providing them with the early auditory experience they need. The Center has a high level of organization, specialized expertise, and modern infrastructure to safely and effectively perform these demanding procedures. The success of the surgeries is due to the excellent cooperation of the involved specialties, such as otolaryngologists, anesthesiologists, audiologists, pediatricians, geneticists, and specialized nursing staff. This collaboration covers the entire spectrum of care, from diagnosis to surgery and postoperative monitoring. The Cochlear Implant Center of Nicosia General Hospital continues to pioneer, offering patients the opportunity to hear the world as early as possible, with scientific excellence, safety, and human care.
