Successful Cochlear Implants in Infants at Nicosia Hospital

A significant milestone has been achieved at the Cochlear and Other Auditory Implant Center of Nicosia General Hospital with the successful completion of cochlear implants in two infants just seven months old. This procedure, aligned with modern international practices, moves the minimum age for implantation from 9 to 6 months. Early implantation is considered crucial for the development of speech, communication, and social inclusion in children. The success of the surgery is due to the excellent collaboration of the involved specialties and the modern infrastructure of the center.
