International Patient Testimonial - Adult Cochlear Implant Surgery

About the Patient

Mrs Tahani Mohammed Abdulahameed is a 45-year-old woman from Yemen. She had been suffering from hearing impairment for more than a decade. Over the years, her hearing worsened to the point where hearing aids were no longer effective, making communication extremely difficult.

Seeking advanced treatment, she visited Medicover Hospitals, Hitec City. She consulted Dr Sampurna Ghosh, Consultant ENT Head & Neck Surgeon. After evaluation, the medical team recommended an Adult Cochlear Implant Surgery, which was performed successfully.

Following surgery and a month-long speech and hearing rehabilitation program, she regained the ability to hear clearly and to participate in verbal communication.

Patient's Words

"I had been struggling with hearing loss for more than 10 years, and even hearing aids couldn't help me anymore. I came to Medicover Hospitals, where Dr Sampurna Ghosh examined my condition and advised a Cochlear Implant.

The surgery went well, and after a month of therapy, I am now able to hear and communicate normally again.

I am very grateful to Dr Sampurna and the entire medical staff for the care, patience, and support they provided throughout my treatment. Thank you for giving me my hearing and confidence back." - Mrs Tahani Mohammed Abdulahameed
