When does a child need a cochlear implant? How much does it cost?

Under what circumstances do children with deafness need to be implanted?

Under what circumstances do people want to implant cochlear implants, generally speaking, he is extremely severe (deafness), some are born, 90 decibels can not be measured, then you must have to do cochlear implants, then some are more positive, more than 80 decibels, it should be said that he can implant cochlear implants, then some said, I can wear hearing aids at 80 decibels, if you can try hearing aids, 80 decibels, you can try on hearing aids, if the hearing aids are good, you can not do cochlear implants, if it is not good, you still have to do it.

In what case, some parents are more positive, we also have a disease, called great vestibular aqueduct syndrome, the characteristics of this disease, it is when it is born, hearing may be okay, or completely normal, some children are born completely normal, as he grows older, with every cold he has, or every head injury, or there is no trigger, he is sick, he is sick, he is sick, vertigo, hearing loss.

The characteristic of this disease is that the more times it occurs, the more severe the hearing loss.

In the early stage, it can be restored to the level before his onset, with the increase in the number of episodes each time, and finally he can not return to the level before his onset, he may be getting worse and worse, the child can still speak at the beginning, slowly and slowly unclear speech, at this time parents may have to take a more active (**) is if his hearing loss falls, the number of decibels drops very fast, you may not be able to wait until he 90 decibels, 100 dB and then do cochlear implants, you may wait until he 80 (decibels), 85 (decibels), you should have a cochlear implant.

That is to say, with different diseases, the characteristics of its onset, the implantation of this cochlear implant, this timing should also be well grasped, if you say that you are born, as I just said, congenital deafness, you have no hearing at all at birth, we did cochlear implantation in seven or eight months at the earliest, so on the one hand, it is related to the degree of hearing, on the other hand, it is related to the age of its onset, and the means of choosing ** are different.

Cochlear implants are divided into two kinds, the first is called domestic cochlear implant, and the second is called imported cochlear implant. At present, the retail price of domestic unilateral cochlear implants is about 100,000 yuan. Imported cochlea are imported from different origins, such as Australia or Austria or the United States, depending on their configuration, and the range is generally between 180,000 and 260,000.

In addition, the cost of surgery is about 10,000 yuan, so you generally need to prepare about 100,000 yuan for domestic cochlear surgery, and if you want to do imported cochlear surgery, you need to prepare about 250,000 yuan for the child's medical expenses.

I think what if. If there are those people left, it must be done manually. Probably this money is needed, and it should be done according to the size of the child. I think that's what I can do. I don't know how much it will cost.

Because the child loses hearing or has hearing impairment, parents will find a way to take the child to accept**, hoping that the child's hearing can be restored, some parents choose to give the child a cochlear implant, but then express regret, but everything has pros and cons, so do you really regret that the child did a cochlear implant? Let me explain them to parents one by one.

A cochlear implant is an artificial organ that is used in patients with damage to the inner ear and is more suitable for children who do not have a good ability to recover speech with hearing aids, or who have severe sensorineural hearing loss. The benefits of cochlear implants include hearing recovery to a certain extent, which is also more effective for deaf patients, and is of great help to subsequent life and study.

Parents can clearly understand cochlear implants and choose whether to have cochlear implants according to their children's hearing loss, and have a good attitude, cochlear implants are a good choice, because cochlear implants can allow children with hearing loss to listen to the outside world like normal children, so that they no longer feel helpless for hearing impairment in their studies and life.

Children and parents should work with professionals to understand whether the cochlear implant and their family can afford it. Cochlear implant recipients need to be familiar and learn for a long time to gain the ability to hear, and the child will also have a good learning mindset to make the best use of the cochlear implant. Therefore, there is no regret in giving your child a cochlear implant.

In order to further strengthen and standardize the management of cochlear implant relief projects for children with hearing disabilities, the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation and the Provincial Health Commission have recently formulated and issued the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Cochlear Implant Relief Projects for Children with Hearing Disabilities in Shandong Province".

According to the detailed rules, the content of the assistance is to provide cochlear implant products, cochlear implant surgery, machine adjustment and postoperative training subsidies for eligible children with hearing disabilities. The subsidy standard is: 1 set of cochlear implant products will be provided free of charge for each child with hearing impairment.

A cochlear implant is an electronic device in which an external speech processor converts sound into an encoded form of electrical signal, which directly excites the auditory nerve through a system of electrodes implanted in the body to restore or reconstruct hearing function in deaf people.
