Chandigarh: As many as 130 ENT experts from tricity and Punjab took part in a CME on redefining hearing with cochlear implants here today. The CME, which was organized by Max Hospital Mohali in association with Ambedkar Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) , Mohali shed light on the latest advancements in cochlear implants.
Among others, Dr. Naresh Kumar Panda director ENT at Max and Dr. Manish Gupta professor and head ENT at AIMS Mohali and Col. Harinder Singh Chehal, senior director- COO Max Healthcare were present.
During CME, Dr. Panda emphasized the importance of learning, innovation, and collaboration in healthcare.
He said, “Cochlear implant surgery is a unique and very rewarding surgery for children who are born deaf due to various reasons. As speech outcomes are directly linked to the development of normal hearing, children who are born deaf are unable to have normal speech abilities. Timely identification of hearing loss and intervention by cochlear implant surgery helps the child in achieving optimal hearing levels and good speech outcomes.”
For congenital deaf children, early cochlear implantation is the only solution that can give the child near-normal hearing, Dr. Panda informed.
The CME not only offered valuable educational insights but also highlighted an unwavering commitment of fostering healthcare excellence through continuous learning.
