We are as overjoyed as you watching little Aleeshba and her parents usher in joy after she could start hearing properly for the first time. As Mr Shoaib and Ms Sayeeda explains how they could not identify the problem at first but slowly realised that it is more than just a speech problem. The negative BERA test results were shocking for them at first when they realised Aleeshba could not hear anything on both her ears. That is when they met Dr. Sampath Chandra Prasad Rao and decided to go for a Cochlear implant surgery, a small, complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. A cochlear implant is very different from a hearing aid. Hearing aids amplify sounds so they may be detected by damaged ears whereas cochlear implants bypass damaged portions of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Listen to the parents of Aleeshba as they talk about the successful treatment and how Dr. Sampath gave new life to their child.
