Abstract
Deafness is an auditory condition that can have significant impacts on the quality of life, involving psychosocial impairments and communication challenges. Early diagnosis, facilitated by neonatal auditory screening programs, is crucial for directing timely interventions. The cochlear implant technique emerges as an effective approach to restore hearing in cases of severe to profound deafness. The surgery involves the insertion of electrodes into the cochlea, allowing for direct electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Technological advancements in surgical techniques and devices have contributed to significant improvements in the efficacy and safety of the procedure. Cochlear implants provide notable benefits, including the restoration of auditory capacity, improvements in communication, and overall quality of life. Post-surgical follow-up by a multidisciplinary team, which may include speech therapists, psychologists, and otolaryngologists, is essential for optimizing long-term outcomes, addressing emotional aspects, auditory rehabilitation, and clinical monitoring. Deafness and the cochlear implant technique are complex and interconnected topics, with medical and surgical approaches aimed at enhancing auditory functionality and the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition.
