Cochlear Implants
What is a Cochlear Implant?
A cochlear implant is an electronic device that mimics the function of damaged or missing hair cells in the inner ear (cochlea) to restore hearing. It works by transmitting sound directly to the auditory nerve.

Who is a Candidate for a Cochlear Implant?
Individuals with severe to profound hearing loss who do not benefit sufficiently from hearing aids are typically candidates for a cochlear implant. Both children and adults can be suitable for this surgery.
How is Cochlear Implant Surgery Performed?
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2-3 hours. The surgeon places the implant in the inner ear, where it connects to a receiver-transmitter placed under the skin to receive sound signals from the outside world.
When Does Hearing Start After Surgery?
After surgery, a few weeks are required for the healing process. Initial activation usually occurs 2-4 weeks post-surgery when the external part of the implant is attached and activated.
What Are the Risks of a Cochlear Implant?
Risks include infection, facial nerve damage, dizziness, and device functionality issues. However, these complications are rare.
Is Cochlear Implant Maintenance Difficult?
The external part of the cochlear implant needs regular cleaning and maintenance. Routine check-ups are also essential to ensure the device is functioning correctly.
Does a Cochlear Implant Provide Normal Hearing?
A cochlear implant offers an experience similar to natural hearing but does not completely restore normal hearing. Hearing improvement and rehabilitation require time and training.
Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHA)
What is a Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA)?
A bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) transmits sound to the inner ear via the skull bone. It is especially suitable for patients with conductive hearing loss, single-sided deafness, or conditions such as microtia.
Who is Suitable for a BAHA?
Candidates for BAHA include individuals with conductive hearing loss, those who cannot use traditional hearing aids due to outer or middle ear issues, or those with single-sided hearing loss.
How Does a BAHA Work?
BAHA converts sound into vibrations that are transmitted through the skull bone directly to the inner ear, bypassing the middle ear to reach the auditory nerve.
How is BAHA Surgery Performed?
BAHA surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon places a small titanium implant in the skull, and after the healing process, the hearing device is attached to the implant.
Is Using a BAHA Difficult?
BAHA devices are generally easy to use. However, regular cleaning and maintenance are necessary. Attention to battery life and device functionality is also required.
When Can BAHA Be Used After Surgery?
The implant must integrate with the bone over several weeks or months. Once this process is complete, the device can be activated.
What Are the Risks of a BAHA?
Risks include infection, implant displacement, or mechanical issues with the device. However, these complications are typically rare.
How Much Can Hearing Improve with a BAHA?
BAHA can significantly enhance hearing for individuals with conductive hearing loss. However, the quality of hearing depends on personal expectations and individual circumstances.
We came from Almaty on vacation, and my son started having ear pain from the very first day. They recommended drops and medications, but nothing helped. We stumbled across a doctor online and decided to take a chance. She turned out to be wonderful, and after the first dose of medication, my son felt better. Within a week, there was no trace of the infection. Special thanks to the translator for her care, understanding, and professionalism.
I was suffering from empty nose syndrome. For those who don't know, I should say that almost all of my nasal tissue was removed. It is a very bad disease. I went to 100 ENT doctors in Istanbul and they couldn't find a solution. Finally, I found Deniz Hoca, who is an expert in this field, and he took cartilage from my rib and performed the surgery and I got better. Thank you very much for everything.
I had a tonsillectomy performed by our doctor, Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. The surgery went smoothly, and although it's said to be more difficult for adults, I recovered very quickly. I'm so glad I chose Mustafa.
Hello, they told me that my parotid gland needed to be removed. I went to so many doctors that I finally decided on Dr. Mustafa. I am glad I chose Dr. Mustafa. You do not need to look for a doctor, you can choose my doctor with peace of mind without any worries.
I had a nose surgery 9 months ago by Mustafa Deniz Hoca. Both he and his team are always in touch with you before and after the surgery and provide detailed answers to questions. I am very pleased with my nose in terms of aesthetic appearance and health. Thank you and your entire team for everything.
First of all, I would like to thank my instructor Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz for his efforts. I had a nose surgery about 4 months ago. Like everyone else, I had the opportunity to research and compare the videos taken by many people who had this surgery and the perspectives of experts in their field on nose surgeries. I am very happy that I made the right decision and had surgery with my instructor Mustafa. I sincerely recommend my instructor Mustafa to everyone who wants to breathe both aesthetically and healthily and has problems.
I had a nose surgery in February. They never failed to show interest from the moment I entered the clinic until the last moment. No one even understands that I had plastic surgery. Mr. Deniz is one of the best in his field. I recommend it to everyone.
I had a nose surgery 3.5 months ago. The surgery and recovery process went great. There are a few things you should pay attention to after the surgery, they don't affect your quality of life too much. The doctor makes you feel very comfortable about that because it's not as complicated as you think. Other than that, I can breathe easily now, which is the most important thing. Also, Assistant Ayşegül Hanım gets back to you directly at any time of the day, no matter how long it has been since the surgery, if you have any questions. I'm very happy that I chose the right doctor.
I met Dr. Deniz upon the recommendation of another patient. He performed my ear surgery approximately 6 months ago with the diagnosis of Cholestatum. His care and follow-up of his patient both before and after the surgery for 6 months is commendable. I would also like to thank Dr. Deniz for his confidence in his patient and his friendly approach. I am in a much better position after the surgery, both in terms of hearing and risk of infection. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz and his team.
I went to my dear teacher Deniz because of my breathing difficulties. He and his team were very cheerful and caring. My surgery was very successful and our doctor Deniz and his team were always caring throughout the process. We definitely recommend them, they are very knowledgeable, you will never regret it.
I had been experiencing a constant runny nose for a while. I decided to go to a private ENT specialist and I took a very good step. My doctor told me I had vasomotor rhinitis, which I had never heard of before. They had always given me allergy medication and sent me there. Mustafa Deniz made me feel very comfortable with the nasal wash he recommended. I had been using allergy medication unnecessarily for so long. You can go with peace of mind 😊.
I had a nose surgery 6 months ago. I am very pleased with the result. Mr. Deniz is a successful doctor in his field. You can choose him with peace of mind.
