Extra safety with SmartNav
Our surgeons use Cochlear's SmartNav system during the operation. It is a tablet that shows the surgeon what is happening inside the inner ear while the surgery is still going on.
- It shows how deep the electrode has gone, and how gently it is moving.
- The surgeon can check the electrode is sitting in the right place before closing.
- It can replace the X-ray that used to be taken during surgery, which means less time under anaesthetic and no radiation for your child.
- If anything needs adjusting, it is put right there and then.
Choosing a surgeon
Our audiologists will discuss which surgeon and hospital suit your family best. We will coordinate everything before and after the surgery. Our surgeons also perform Osia bone conduction implant surgery.
