Cochlear Implants Health Feed

Introduction:

A cochlear implant is one of the best electronic medical devices in the modern world. A cochlear implantation is a surgical implantation done on a person who is deaf. This device provides a sense of hearing. It does not amplify the sound like normal hearing aids. It stimulates the specialized nerve cells in the hearing sense organ (cochlea). It has many advantages and is currently more useful than your average hearing aid.

The implant is a fixed replacement which looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth!

What if we could replace the entire decayed tooth with a new one. Yes, it can be done easily with dental implants. Simple procedure, less visits, absolutely zero pain and years and years of long-lasting stability. The best thing your body deserves.

Root canal therapy (RCT) followed by a crown is the most common mode of treatment for severely decayed teeth. However, this is not devoid of failure. In another case, if a tooth could not be salvaged by RCT, then extraction followed by a bridge (replacing the removed tooth with support from adjacent healthy teeth) became the next best option.

In both cases, especially latter, healthy teeth are being manipulated to support the tooth being replaced. The next quest was to work without touc...more

Cochlear implant is a medical device that provides direct electrical stimulation to the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Children and adults with severe hearing loss may be helped with cochlear implants. A cochlear implant is a prosthetic substitute directly stimulating the cochlea and it does not cure deafness or hearing impairment.

A cochlear implant completely by-passes the normal hearing mechanism and stimulates the auditory nerve directly by means of an internally implanted electrod...more

A cochlear implant is an electronic device that is used to restore hearing ability in people who suffer from hearing loss due to inner ear damage. Unlike hearing aids which amplify sounds so people with hearing loss are better able to perceive them, cochlear implants directly transmit electronic sound signals to the auditory nerve. They work by compensating for damaged cochlea, the part of the inner ear that converts sound waves into neural impulses which are perceived by the brain.

Traditionally, people resort to hearing aids in order to take care of their auditory problems. The perception of hearing reduces as age progresses and people find it absolutely necessary to come up with ways by which they can improve their hearing. However, cochlear implants have become extremely popular because of the method that it uses in comparison to the traditional methods of hearing aids.

BAHA Implant
Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) is a device surgically implanted to help people suffering from a loss of hearing. Most conventional hearing aids transmit sound through air conduction. The BAHA device is suitable for conductive or mild-moderate mixed hearing loss.

Problems with hearing in the middle or outer ears can be helped with the BAHA device. The sound waves received by the BAHA device bypass the middle ear and get delivered straight to the functioning cochlea in ...more

Hello, ya missing tooth can be either replaced by an implant or a fixed bridge. For a bridge to be possible the missing tooth space should have at least one tooth on both the sides so that with the support of adjacent teeth a bridge can be made and cemented. So if your missing tooth fulfil this criterion you can opt for this. And it can be easily done in the time mentioned by you.
Thanks.
