It gives me great pleasure to share with you another milestone achieved by the Cochlear Implant Service at Apollo Hospital, New Delhi.
Having carried out over 300 cochlear implant procedures in the last 4 years alone, we have now successfully performed our first Paediatric Auditory Brainstem Implantation (ABI). This four year old child has severe (Grade I) cochlear hypoplasia with auditory nerve hypoplasia.
Further, it is a matter of great pride and confidence for us that this ABI surgery was performed completely and successfully by our local team, independent of any overseas surgeon assistance. (Dr Ameet Kishore - ENT & Neuro-otology ; Dr Pranav Kumar - Neurosurgery and Ms Neevita Narayan, Audiologist, SpHear Clinic, who carried out the intraoperative EABR recordings). A truly Indian achievement !

Hi, we have just found out that our two year old son has auditory nerve hypoplasia, however he has a fair amount of residual hearing in the low frequencies in the right ear (which we heard is very rare). It is very difficult to find out any information regarding this and I would just like to find out if anyone could offer any guidance. He has hearing aids but to to the above condition the auditory implant team are unsure if this will aid him with his speech
