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.

My 2.5-year-old daughter could not breathe and her sleep was interrupted due to her adenoid problem. It was resolved in about 1 hour. Even right after the surgery, he started breathing very easily. Thank you so much, I'm glad to have you

My teacher Mustafa came across it while researching on the internet. I had a unilateral parotid tumor, the other doctors I went to scared me so much, that's why I was avoiding surgery for two years. I read the comments of my teacher Mustafa and the fact that he operated on a patient like me made me more comfortable. I had surgery on March 7. I am very glad that I met my teacher Mustafa and came across him. May God bless him, I recommend him to everyone.

As a result of the hearing test performed at a Private Hospital I went to, I was told that I had hearing loss due to arthritis in my ear and that I needed to use a hearing aid. When I asked if there was another treatment for this, the answer given was that the only solution was hearing aids. This result did not satisfy me, so I wanted to research the best ENT Doctor in Antalya on the internet. The first name I came across was Prof. Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz was my teacher. As a result of our preliminary meeting with him and professional hearing tests, he stated that I would regain my hearing with the Otosclerosis Surgery he would perform without using a device. As a result of the trust given by my doctor, I decided to have surgery. My surgery went very well, my quality of life improved because I can hear very well now. I would like to thank my esteemed teacher and his valuable team for their interest and concern during this period. Definitely benefit from my valuable teacher's experiences, you will never regret it...

With hearing loss due to vertigo, I went to Mustafa Bey's clinic as a result of his advice and research on the internet. As a result of the treatment, I regained my hearing. Another hospital said that you will get a hearing aid and there is nothing to do after that. I would like to thank him very much from here. The staff is excellent, they are all smiling and kind people. I'm glad I came across this place. If you have such problems, be sure to go to Mr. Mustafa and his team without wasting your time looking for other places.

I am Ferah Emirdar, one side of my nostril was closed, I could hardly breathe, I was acting aggressively, the sinusitis I had been suffering from for years was a separate problem. When I went for the examination, I made my decision, I had the surgery, it was very successful and not what I feared. The first thing I said after removing the tampon was, "Are you breathing like this?" I became a calm person, my sleep improved, I fell asleep immediately, I had no nerves left because I slept well, and my sinusitis and nasal congestion were gone. I would like to thank your patience and team during this process. I am also happy to have met you.

I went to Mustafa Hodja with the recommendation of a friend, and after my examination, I had 2 parotid tumor surgeries, one month apart. Both surgeries were successful. I felt at ease each time with the explanations Mustafa Deniz Hodja made both before and after the surgery. Thanks to Mustafa Hodja's self-confidence and the intense interest of his assistants, I went through the surgery very comfortably. Thank you Mustafa Hodja and his friendly team.

I have been suffering from vertigo dizziness for 9 years. I was at a point where I could not do work at home. There was no doctor left that I did not go to. Finally, I went to my doctor, Mustafa Deniz. We started my treatment and I was very pleased with his care and attention. Now I am very well. I have been suffering from this dizziness for years. God bless you. I feel like I was born again. I am glad to have you, my teacher. I recognized

I am 34 years old. I have been having problems with infection and hearing loss due to ruptured eardrum since the age of 10. I wanted to have surgery and I went to many doctors. None of them were positive about me having surgery. They said my ears would not be healed with surgery. They recommended hearing aids. Upon the advice of a friend, I met Mustafa. He performed a very successful surgery. My hearing was cured. I got rid of the infection. Thank you very much for everything.

We met with Mr. Mustafa Deniz for my son's adenoid surgery. He made me feel very comfortable with his interest and explanations. Our doctor is really a very sincere person. Our surgery was very successful, thank God. I had surgery a few months ago. I had a cyst in my throat. He explained my surgery process and my situation to me with the same interest and concern. My surgery went very well, thank God. Mr. Mustafa Deniz is successful in his job, valuable and a good person. The people who work with them are very valuable and good people. I'm glad I met you :)
