Training Audiologists

 Audiologists are the experts who:

• Test hearing ability

• Identify the right candidates for cochlear implants

• Assist during and after surgery

• Program the device (called “mapping”)

• Guide families throughout the hearing journey


To improve outcomes, we have trained several audiologists across the Telugu states, equipping them with the skills needed to manage even complex cases. We also support multiple hospitals and cochlear implant centres to ensure the best possible results for patients — especially young children who need clear hearing to develop speech and language.


Our goal is to create a strong support system — from diagnosis to rehabilitation — so that every individual who receives a cochlear implant can hear, speak, and thrive.

But someone advised them to take a second opinion , so they came to see me. After checking all the reports and talking to the parents, I had a big question in mind : Wh...
