cochlear implant surgery

There are a few common misconceptions on Cochlear implant surgery and some of those are that lots of hair would be shaved off, a big hole would be cut in patient’s scalp and a wire would be sticking out through a patent’s scalp after Cochlear Implant Surgery.

In fact, Cochlear Implant is considered to be a comparatively minor operation and it would take just a couples of hours.

• Fact 1: Only a small amount of hair behind a implant candidate’s ear would be removed.

• Fact 2: Surgeon would drill into the skull bone behind a implant candidate’s ear and it usually could be closed up with just a few stitches.

Also, getting Cochlear Implants also has relatively minimal post-surgical effects. Not only serious side effects are actually rare, some of the minor risk of complications such as Meningit could also be avoided by getting vaccinated.
