Recently, Xiao Hu, a patient with severe bilateral deafness for 38 years, was successfully implanted with a cochlear implant in Chongqing Renpin at one time, and the postoperative condition was good.

It is understood that due to improper medication in childhood, Brother Hu caused deafness due to drug toxicity, and Brother Hu also missed the sensitive period of language development at the age of 2-4. He was deaf and mute since he was a child, so Brother Hu encountered many ups and downs that ordinary people have not experienced in his growth. At the age of 18, he was almost abducted by human traffickers. He was deaf and dumb as a child and his family was in poor conditions. Brother Hu did not go to school for a day, but he has been actively working hard to face life, and he has learned many life skills such as recognizing words, arithmetic, and chatting on the Internet. The smart brother Hu is now He has become a skilled lathe worker, and he is honest and diligent. The current boss values ​​him very much, so when he heard that Brother Hu was going to have a cochlear implant, he paid one third of the treatment costs.

Brother Xiao Hu’s family is from the countryside and has never been exposed to the treatment plan for “prelingual deafness”. It was the brother-in-law who accidentally saw the technology of cochlear implants on the Internet, and the brother-in-law quickly told the news to Xiao Hu’s family. Brother Xiao Hu’s family went to many hospitals and wanted to operate as soon as possible, but many hospitals could perform surgery, but they needed the patient to find the cochlear by themselves. Brother Xiao Hu’s family didn’t know where to find it, and the implantation of the cochlear implant was delayed again and again.

Later, my brother-in-law accidentally saw that Chongqing Renpin ENT Hospital provided patients with a full range of treatment plans from cochlear equipment to cochlear surgery, as well as assistance from the Chongqing ENT Health Fund. Through a series of comprehensive examinations such as imaging CT and MRI examinations, hearing examinations, and psychiatric examinations, Xiao Hu met the conditions for cochlear implantation. In addition, Xiao Hu’s own attitude was very positive and very cooperative. The surgery was arranged in On the afternoon of April 14th.

Before the surgery on the afternoon of April 14th, Zhang Chaomei, director of the ear department of Chongqing Renpin Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, typed on his mobile phone to cheer Brother Hu, so that he had confidence in himself, and the medical staff would do their best. Do your best to do this surgery.

The operation lasted from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, measuring, making incisions, grinding out the bone bed for implant placement… Zhang Chaomei led the medical staff of the ear department, and every step was precise and accurate. Within 2 hours, the implant was safely and accurately inserted into Xiao Hu Ge’s cochlea. After Brother Hu woke up after the operation, Zhang Chaomei immediately went to the ward to check his condition, and told Brother Hu’s mother the precautions after the operation in detail.

After the cochlear implantation, Director Zhang Chaomei went to the ward every day to check on Brother Hu’s postoperative condition. Zhang Chaomei said that Brother Hu was recovering well, the wound was not inflamed, and no subcutaneous hematoma was found. There was no short-term postoperative dizziness and other adverse reactions, and she could be discharged home immediately. Now, as long as it starts up smoothly in about a month, and then cooperates with rehabilitation training, Brother Hu will soon be able to hear the voices of his parents and more voices in the world.
