"THE PURPOSE OF THE REHABILITATION PROGRAMME IS ΤΟ HELP THE PATIENT TO IMPROVE HIS COMMUNICATION ABILITY," THE CONSULTANT SURGEON SAID.
THE FOUR PATIENTS WHO HAD SUCCESSFULLY UNDERGONE THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT SURGERY, HAVE ALSO COMPLETED THEIR PRELIMINARY POST-OPERATIVE TRAINING PROGRAMME AND THE RESULTS ARE VERY PROMISING.
THE CONSULTANT SAID THAT ONLY PROFOUNDLY DEAF PATIENTS WHO ARE FOUND SUITABLE ARE SELECTED AND SCREENED FOR THE SPECIAL COCHLEAR IMPLANT PROGRAMME BECAUSE THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO BENEFIT FROM IT.
