BREATHE WELL. LISTEN WELL. SPEAK WELL.
The Department of ENT at MMHRC was the first of its kind in Madurai to start the Cochlear Implant Program. It also has a Sleep Lab to treat patients suffering from snoring issues. The department has a state-of-the-art audiology room equipped with pure tone audiometry impedance, BERA, OAE, and a full-time audiologist and speech pathologist. It also has an Audio Verbal (AV) therapist especially for children who have undergone the implant procedure. Together with Pediatrics, the ENT department also runs a neonatal hearing screening program. Newborns with suspected hearing impairment are followed up closely and are treated.
