Hearing loss is a common problem in elderly people. But, as the population of adult rises, so does the problem of hearing loss. Our Adult programs & services in hearing loss aim to solve the problem. Audiologists at our clinic perform the audiological evaluations for adults like comprehensive hearing evaluation and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Test. Based on the results of the analysis, recommendations are made to treat the hearing loss or problem of communication in Adults that results from the loss. When the problem of hearing loss cannot be treated medically or surgically, a possible treatment which is fitting of hearing aids is recommended. After the initial consultation, hearing aids can be ordered.

SpHear clinic offers a wide range of testing and diagnostic service to evaluate cognitive skills, neurodevelopmental delay, Visual Reinforcement Audiometry, pediatric hearing assessment, Pure-tone ABR testing, speech & language therapy, emotional & behavioural difficulties, and learning difficulty (such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia).

Generally, speech is the sound that we utter(produce) with the help of our mouths(articulators). But, when this sound is not understood by others, it is indicative of a speech problem. Some of the common speech problems include delayed speech, stuttering, mispronunciation(misarticulation) etc. Delayed speech indicates a delay in the speech processing mechanism(production). Language, on the other hand, has less to do with sounds, it is more about meanings. It is a measure of intelligence. Language delay indicates a delay in the use of the language. In this context, it is important to state that speech and language delay are not the same. Since language and speech are two different stages(things); the two may be delayed individually. A child, who is unable to utter(produce) intelligent speech sound, might not be suffering from the delayed language. In such a case, the child might be trying to utter (has age appropriate)language, but the language can be difficult to be understood(expressed in speech).similarly, a child having delayed language (not delayed speech), might not have got enough opportunity of producing speech sounds. Delayed language is when a child is developing language skill in the right sequence but at a slow rate.

Cochlear Implant devices facilitate people with sound who receive little or no benefit through hearing aids. A pre-evaluation is a critical process of Cochlear Implant to assess the candidate functional hearing ability and verify whether these are likely to be radically improved through an implant.The assessment and procedure are conducted by multidisciplinary team of experts with an experience in working with deaf or young children with hearing problems. Formal Pre-Cochlear Implant Evaluation Process Step 1: Orientation The purpose of the process is to orient the child and its family about the Cochlear Implant. Some of the general topics discussed with h family may include: What is the Cochlear Implant? Does Cochlear Implant work? Routine follow-ups and precautions Cost of implant Warranty and insurance

The Middle Ear Implant is a newer technology approved by the FDA in 2002. After this time it has been seen by many as a strong aid in achieving better hearing. The Middle Ear implant consists of an internal device, which is surgically implanted and also there is an external component which is called the Audio Processor. The external piece is worn behind the ear and there are no visible wires. The Middle Ear Implant works by picking up sound, by the external processer, and transferring it across the skin electromagnetically to the implanted receiver. The receiver then transmits the signal to the implant which creates vibrations in the ear and copies the function of a normal ear. This vibration is then sent to the cochlea which in turn is sends the signal to the brain for interpretation. Since the implant bypasses the middle ear, sound goes directly into the cochlea therefore avoiding problems with reduced sound.

These days many people suffer from mild-to-moderate hearing loss problem and hearing aids have become a practical solution for improving the problem of hearing. Cochlear implant system is designed for people who are not able to benefit from hearing aids. It is an electronic device which stimulates the auditory nerve with electric signals which the brain can understand as sound. Cochlear implants are considered the only machinery available to functionally re-establish one of the five senses. In contrast to hearing aids, which intensify sound, these electronic devices bypass the damaged part of the inner so that person can hear it best. People who have cochlear implant are heard clearly in the noisy environment, enjoy music and reconnect with friends and family
