Six residents from Sverdlovsk, aged young, been equipped with advanced hearing devices, intended to enhance their auditory capabilities.

At the multi-profile clinical medical center "Bonum" in Sverdlovsk, underage cochlear implant recipients received updated speech processors offering superior sound quality and control via mobile phones. This initiative is supported under the "Longevity and Active Life" national project, as confirmed by the regional health ministry's press service.

In a recent series of operations, six children and teenagers tried the new external system components, and another 16 had their settings adjusted. These replacements and tune-ups are regular procedures for operated patients.

Victoria Khasanova, head of the ODS center at "Bonum", expression of joy at continuing to aid these unique children following their hearing restoration. She emphasized that the state programs' free provisions are critical.

Distinctively, "Bonum" is the sole medical institution in the region offering advanced assistance to young Ural residents battling hearing problems or acquired deafness. Approximately 1,800 children with various hearing diseases are under the care of the Regional Children's Surdological Center.

Elena Dugina, chief physician at the MKMC "Bonum", underscored the importance of helping children not only to hear but also to comprehend speech, communicate verbally, and socialize. Further replacements are planned, with the objective of equipping every eligible young resident of Sverdlovsk Oblast with modern equipment.

Previously, the "Regional Newspaper" reported a "smart board" installation at the Central City Hospital in Verkhnyaya Pyshma to aid diabetic patients. However, this information does not directly relate to the cochlear implant program at "Bonum" and is not incorporated into this report.

At the Regional Children's Surdological Center, where around 1,800 children with hearing diseases are being cared for, advanced science and technology are being leveraged to aid the hearing restoration of young Ural residents, such as the updated cochlear implant speech processors offering mobile phone control. Elena Dugina, the chief physician at the MKMC "Bonum," also emphasizes the importance of medical-conditions related technological advancements, not only for enabling hearing but also for fostering health-and-wellness aspects like verbal communication and socialization.
