What are the basic principles that underlie all cochlear implant surgical procedures. The major goals are:
(1) to insert the electrode array as atraumatically as possible into the scala tympani,
(2) to place the device on the side of the head in a manner that most protects it from trauma
(3) to ensure that the device and electrode array are secure enough to prevent movement.
The intent is to accomplish these goals without damaging the surrounding tissue, device, and electrode array or causing infection and with an acceptable cosmetic result.

Hi, we are lifting this information from different forum to educate you more on BERA test and Hearing Loss Intervention.

"I have one daughter not hearing from both ear. but not seen any problem in MRI(inner ear),CT scan,EEG but problem in BERA test ,what to be done. She have having hearing losses from past 7 month and before this she was hearing well from both ear,as per BERA test she is having profound losses in both ear..kindly guide us further"

Here is specialist advice:-

"Thanks for the query

The sudden loss of hearing could be due to deformities in the inner ear apparatus, damage to the nerves and the inner ear apparatus.

According to BERA Test there is profound hearing loss in both ears. It is almost impossible to correct the profound hearing loss with medicines.

Also, the advantage of the BERA Test is, it shows where exactly the nerve has been damaged starting from the inner ear up to the brain. Hence keeping this in mind, we can go for the corrective surgeries depending upon the level of damage.

At present Cochlear Implant (CI) has shown promising results. The sooner you get the implantation done the better is the result. This is because of the neural plasticity. During infanthood, the auditory center in the brain tries to recognize the external sounds but, once it crosses 3 or 4 years of age, the function of the auditory centre is taken over by the adjacent visual centre. Later on, whatever stimulation is given to the auditory centre in the brain it will not recognize sounds and the surgery will become a failure. Finally, the child will remain deaf for the rest of its life. Hence you need to act fast.

The costs of the CI depends upon the selection of the device"
