Neotia Bhagirathi Woman and Child Care Centre Launches Advanced Cochlear Implant Clinic at Newtown

News Desk, News Nation 360 : To provide early hearing detection and intervention services for newborns and children throughout Eastern India, Neotia Bhagirathi Woman and Child Care Centre, Newtown, has established a cutting-edge Hearing Loss & Cochlear Implant (CI) Clinic at its Paediatric Multispecialty Hospital in New Town. Neotia Bhagirathi Woman and Child Care Centre has introduced its specialised Hearing Loss & Cochlear Implant Clinic to treat congenital hearing loss with the globally recognised "1-3-6" protocol of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) for children. EHDI is a universally adopted protocol that includes hearing screening by one month of age, diagnostic confirmation by three months of age, and intervention by six months of age. It is believed that if children suffer from untreated hearing loss, it may result in irreversible auditory deprivation of the cortex of the brain, causing considerable hindrance to speech, language, and cognitive development. It is with this understanding that neonatal hearing and vision screening is now made mandatory for all newborn babies delivered at Neotia Bhagirathi Woman and Child Care Centre. For children with severe to profound sensorineural deafness who do not benefit from conventional hearing aids, Neotia's Hearing Loss & Cochlear Implant Clinic offers them a highly effective rehabilitative option of cochlear implantation. Neotia's Hearing Loss & Cochlear Implant Clinic is designed to provide children with a comprehensive pathway of care that includes neonatology, pediatric audiology, advanced imaging, surgical intervention, and auditory-verbal therapy under one roof. With this launch, Neotia's commitment to preventive care and subsequent support for children is evident. Dr Indrani Subramanian, Facility Director of Neotia Bhagirathi Woman and Child Care Centre, Newtown, stated that they are committed to bolstering vital specialities like ENT, as seen by the opening of their specialised Hearing Loss & Cochlear Implant Clinic. Each kid is thoroughly assessed using a cooperative, multidisciplinary approach to identify the best course of action, guaranteeing openness, accuracy, and patient-centered care.
