"Early Activation within 24 hours via a novel cochlear implantation surgical technique"
Traditionally, the CI device couldn't be activated until 4 weeks after surgery and further required patients return several times to Taiwan for a year to adjust the device. Our team developed a minimally invasive surgical technique by creating a much smaller incision wound, less than 2.5cm, that minimized device activation wait time to under 24 hours. Post-operation discomfort is now minimal, patients can instantly hear sound, and begin aural rehabilitation almost instantly following the surgery.
