Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring for Cochlear Implant Surgeries

Abstract

Cochlear implant surgeries offer profound benefits for individuals with severe hearing loss. By bypassing damaged or nonfunctional parts of the inner ear, these implants restore access to sound, significantly improving speech comprehension and communication skills. Cochlear implants enable users to engage in conversations, enjoy music, and access environmental sounds. They also enhance overall quality of life, facilitating social integration and educational and employment opportunities. These surgically implanted devices are a game-changer for those without conventional hearing aids, providing a bridge to the auditory world and a chance for a more fulfilling and connected life.
