New Technology Enables Precise Insertion of Cochlear Implants
WMCHealth’s Westchester Medical Center is the first hospital in New York State to complete a cochlear implant procedure with a new, FDA-approved robotic-assisted cochlear implant insertion system. The pioneering procedure was successfully performed by Katrina Stidham, MD.
The new system empowers Dr. Stidham to place the implant within the cochlea more precisely and with less trauma. As a result, patients may experience better retention of prized natural hearing.
The Cochlear Implant Center at Westchester Medical Center provides coordinated audiology and speech-therapy services for children and adult cochlear-implant patients and those considering this life-changing technology. Those seeking to learn more about cochlear implants, to schedule an appointment with a cochlear implant specialist, or to refer a patient should call 914.493.4634. or visit https://www.westchestermedicalcenter....
