Hearing Solutions for Children at “LOR Hospital”!
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 350 million people worldwide suffer from deafness and hearing impairment.
In Azerbaijan, many people also experience hearing problems. Various surgical procedures are performed to address these issues. In recent years, cochlear implant surgeries have been performed on children born with hearing impairments, providing an early and permanent solution.
Cochlear implantation and subsequent rehabilitation help patients integrate into society, fully restore hearing, and prevent lifelong disability. After placing the internal device, one month is allowed for healing, after which the external component can be fitted to restore hearing.
The main causes of hearing loss include genetic factors (consanguineous marriages), ear infections, and complications from prenatal or perinatal infections.
With the support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and Compulsory Health Insurance, hundreds of patients with hearing impairments have undergone proper evaluations at “LOR Hospital,” and cochlear implant surgeries have been successfully performed on over one hundred children. Rehabilitation over the following year ensured the recovery of hearing and speech.
Postoperative services—including screening, cochlear implant software programming, device adjustment, and hearing restoration—are professionally performed by local specialists at LOR Hospital.
Since postoperative speech rehabilitation is extremely important, the “Referans Hearing” Center was established at LOR Hospital, equipped with modern devices. The team includes otorhinolaryngologists, speech therapists, psychologists, and hearing device engineers trained abroad.
