“More identical operations will be conducted as there is an augmenting series of infants who are innate with conference impairments,” pronounced Tadros.
Discussing on the procedure, Munzer said: “An electrode is ingrained in a middle ear where a child is mean to hear sounds for an initial time. Gradually, with an assistance of special software, sounds are practiced to nearby normal level.
“This would eventually assist Nafiya to hear all sounds and cope with communication demands,” he added.
