Command Hospital Pune

In a remarkable medical achievement, the Department of ENT at Command Hospital, Pune, under the auspices of the Indian Army Medical Corps (AMC), has successfully performed two pioneering surgeries, utilizing piezoelectric Bone Conduction Implants (BCI).

These procedures were carried out on a 7-year-old male child with a severe degree of hearing loss and an adult suffering from Single Sided Deafness (SSD). This groundbreaking development marks the first instance within the Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) of employing piezoelectric BCI technology for patients with congenital ear anomalies.

The Department of ENT at Command Hospital, Pune, has been at the forefront of this innovative approach, showcasing the potential to significantly enhance the quality of life for patients facing auditory challenges.

This achievement is especially noteworthy as it represents a significant advancement in the treatment of hearing loss, particularly for those with conditions that traditional hearing aids cannot address.

The use of piezoelectric BCI offers a distinct advantage, providing an alternative means of sound transmission that bypasses the outer and middle ear, directly stimulating the inner ear through bone conduction.

The successful surgeries in Pune underscore the Armed Forces Medical Servicesโ€™ dedication to adopting and advancing medical technologies that can have a profound impact on patient care.

As these medical breakthroughs continue to evolve, they promise not only to transform the lives of individuals with hearing loss but also to serve as a beacon of innovation and excellence within the medical community.
