Under general anesthesia, a cochlear implant implantation surgery is an outpatient procedure carried out in a hospital or clinic. A few weeks later, the patient goes back to the audiologist to have the cochlear implant programmed and activated (mapped). When hearing aids are unable to produce the necessary sound clarity for understanding speech and spoken language, a cochlear implant, a tiny electronic device, may be a viable choice. The trick is to intervene early. As hearing loss gets worse over time, there is less and less opportunity for improvement. This is particularly true for kids, whose benefits from an implant may increase with time. Following surgery, rehabilitation and training are necessary to attain optimal hearing function. Surgery for cochlear implants is performed at a clinic or hospital. About two hours pass during the procedure. To put patients to sleep during the procedure, general anesthesia is administered. To guide the electrode to the cochlea, the surgeon makes a tiny incision behind the ear and then opens the mastoid bone. The cochlea is where the implant electrodes are inserted.
