F, Posting on behalf of my close friend. 🙏 Plz Don't Ignore 🙏🙏🙏 Her 9-month old baby boy has been diagnosed with profound hearing loss and speech loss. After consulting multiple doctors they have been advised that he may need a Cochlear implant after he turns 1 year old if his health and hemoglobin levels are suitable. The parents have normal hearing and speech but the baby's maternal grandmother was born with hearing and speech loss so doctors suspect it may be genetic. They have already consulted a hospital in Chennai but before making such an important decision they want to hear from people with real experience and medical professionals. They are even willing to travel abroad if there is a better proven treatment available. Kindly help us with the following: • Anyone who has undergone this surgery or has a child who did, please share your experience. • What are the pros and cons of cochlear implant surgery? • Are there any advanced treatments or surgeries available that may give better results than a cochlear implant? • After surgery will hearing and speech become normal? What are the possible complications? • Which hospital and doctor would you recommend for the best treatment? • We have already consulted a hospital in Chennai. Should we consider any other hospitals in India? • If you are from another country and know of any advanced treatment, specialists, or successful procedures, please share your suggestions. 🙏🙏 This baby is their long awaited blessing and they want to make the best possible decision for his future. Every genuine suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. ❤️ Thank you Admin 🙏
