For individuals with severe to profound hearing loss, traditional hearing aids may no longer be effective. But that doesn’t mean silence is the only option.
Cochlear implants have transformed the lives of thousands, helping them regain access to speech, music, and the sounds of everyday life. At Audium, we’re here to guide you through every step — from evaluation to post-implant support — with care, clarity, and commitment.
What is a Cochlear Implant?
A cochlear implant is a medical device that bypasses damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulates the hearing nerve. Unlike hearing aids that amplify sound, cochlear implants convert sound into electrical signals and send them to the brain.
It consists of two parts:
-
External sound processor worn behind the ear
-
Internal implant surgically placed under the skin and connected to the cochlea
Who Needs a Cochlear Implant?
You or your loved one may be a candidate if:
-
Hearing aids no longer help you understand speech clearly
-
You have profound sensorineural hearing loss in one or both ears
-
You find lip reading essential to follow conversations
-
You’re struggling in work, school, or daily life due to hearing limitations
-
Your child isn’t developing speech or responding to sound as expected
At Audium, our audiologists conduct thorough tests and counselling to determine if cochlear implantation is the right step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cochlear implant surgery painful?
It is a safe and routine surgery, usually done under general anesthesia. Most patients are discharged within a day.
Will I hear like a normal person after the implant?
You will hear differently — not like normal hearing, but with practice, many users understand speech and sounds quite well.
What’s the ideal age for cochlear implants in children?
Earlier is better. Ideally before age 3 for children with congenital hearing loss, but older children can also benefit.
What’s the cost of a cochlear implant in India?
It varies based on the brand and hospital, usually ranging from ₹6 to ₹12 lakhs. Government schemes and CSR funds may be available.
Can Audium help even if surgery is done elsewhere?
Absolutely. We provide mapping, counselling, troubleshooting, and support for cochlear implant users — regardless of where the surgery was performed.
