THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT GROUP OF INDIA with the Registered Office at Ashadeep ENT Centre, No 81, 2nd Main, 1st Cross, BTM Layout 2nd Stage, Bangalore 560 076, India was formed in November 2003.

On behalf of the organizing committee we invite you to participate in CIGICON 2012 to Ahmedabad. The 10th conference of the cochlear Implant Group of India is being held from 23rd to 24th November 2012.

A Cochlear Implant is a surgically implanted electronic device that helps provide hearing to a person with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. This sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage or a defect in the inner ear. Cochlear implants bypass damaged hair cells in the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve to send information to the brain.

Cochlear implants provide a heightened sense of sound for adults and children with profound hearing loss. They are designed for people whose hearing does not improve with surgical correction or with use of a hearing aid. Cochlear implants will not restore or create normal hearing.
