Successful Cochlear Implants Performed on 2 Infants

The General Hospital of Nicosia announced the successful completion of cochlear implants on two infants aged seven months. The surgery was performed at the Cochlear and Other Auditory Implant Center and represents a significant milestone for pediatric otosurgery, as it follows modern international practices of implantation at a young age (under 6 months). Early implantation is considered critical for the development of speech, communication, and social integration of children with hearing problems. The success of the surgery is due to the high organization, specialized expertise, and modern infrastructure of the Center, as well as the excellent cooperation between otolaryngologists, anesthesiologists, audiologists, pediatricians, geneticists, and nursing staff. The Cochlear Implant Center of the Nicosia General Hospital is a pioneer in the application of modern techniques and offers patients the opportunity to hear as soon as possible, with scientific excellence and safety. The announcement emphasizes the Center's commitment to scientific progress and the provision of high-quality healthcare services.
