Introduction:
In India, the field of cochlear and hearing implants has made significant advancements, offering hope to individuals with hearing loss. Dr Ameet Kishore, a renowned expert in the field, specializes in providing personalized solutions to patients seeking
cochlear and hearing implants. In this blog, we will explore the various implant options available in India and shed light on how Dr Ameet Kishore helps patients choose the most suitable option for their specific needs.
Bone Conducting Hearing Device:
For individuals with hearing loss related to the outer or middle ear, a bone-conducting hearing device may be recommended. This implant involves the insertion of a middle ear implant into a bone located in the middle ear. Instead of amplifying sound, the device stimulates the bones, facilitating the transmission of sound to the eardrum.
Osseointegrated Device:
People suffering from conductive or mixed hearing loss may benefit from an osseointegrated device. This implant features a small titanium vibrator anchored behind the affected ear in the skull. When sound is detected, the vibrator generates vibrations that are transmitted through the bone to the inner ear, allowing the individual to perceive sound.

His team is particularly experienced in management of complex cochlear situations and is the only active programme in North India for Auditory Brainstem Implantation.
Soundbite Hearing System:
The soundbite hearing system offers a non-surgical solution for individuals with hearing loss. It consists of a behind-the-ear (BTE) microphone worn on the affected ear and an in-the-mouth (ITM) device placed on the back teeth of the same side. The microphone captures sound waves, which are wirelessly transmitted to the ITM device. The ITM device then converts the sound into vibrations, bypassing the outer and inner ears and directly reaching the inner ear.
Cochlear Implant:
Individuals with nerve deafness caused by damaged cochlear hair cells may benefit from a cochlear implant. This implant is computerized and bypasses the damaged hair cells by converting natural sounds into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted through the hearing nerve to the brain, allowing the person to perceive sound.
Choosing the Right Implant:
The selection of the most appropriate cochlear and hearing implant depends on several factors, including the cause of deafness, individual medical history, and specific hearing requirements. Dr. Ameet Kishore, with his expertise and experience, carefully assesses each patient's case and recommends the most suitable implant option. Through comprehensive tests and evaluations, Dr. Kishore ensures that patients receive personalized care and optimal outcomes.
