Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is an ideal candidate for a Cochlear Implant?
Children born with profound hearing loss (ideally implanted before age 3 for optimal speech development) and adults who derive little to no benefit from conventional hearing aids.
2. Is endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) painful or visible from the outside?
FESS is performed entirely through the nostrils using high-definition endoscopes. There are no external cuts or facial scars, and post-operative discomfort is minimal with modern dissolvable nasal packing.
3. What causes persistent hoarseness of voice?
Hoarseness lasting more than two to three weeks should always be evaluated with a video laryngoscopy to rule out vocal cord nodules, acid reflux damage, or early laryngeal malignancies.
