The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) department and The Cochlear Foundation, University of Freiburg, Germany have successfully carried out the first corrective surgery in two people with severe hearing problem in Lagos.
The Cochlear Implantation is a hearing device implanted into a deaf patient’s ear through surgery. The device is said to convert sound into impulses which enable the patients to hear and understand.
