On 23rd December 2024, the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ORL HNS), Faculty of Medicine & Hospital Al Sultan Abdullah (HASA), UiTM achieved another historic surgical milestone by performing its first cochlear implant surgery. The successful procedure, which involved multidisciplinary teams, marked a new era in hearing loss care at UiTM. The cochlear implant, a sophisticated device designed to restore hearing in patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, was first introduced in 1961 by Dr. William House and Dr. John Doyle. It consists of an external portion that captures sound and processes it into electrical signals, which are then sent by the transmitter to the internal portion. The internal component receives these signals and transmits impulses to the auditory nerve in the cochlea.
