Chennai: TV is on loud, baby Kranti is fast asleep and totally oblivious to his surroundings. Someone slammed the door shut, but Kranti was still in a deep sleep. That’s when his 9-month-old grandmother Shanti sensed something was wrong.

While the boy was playing in the hall, a woman brought a bowl from the kitchen and dropped it behind her on purpose. “It was so loud, but Kranti didn’t even look back,” said Shanti. A 55-year-old woman was quick to take on the issue with her son. After much discussion and persuasion, the baby was taken to a doctor and diagnosed with congenital deafness.

Today, the youngest infant to undergo cochlear implant surgery in the state’s public hospital can learn languages ​​like any other child of his age. The doctor said that Shanti is the best role model for all parents and that hearing loss in children should be caught early. Having raised children, I would say that I know how 4-5 month old babies react to different sounds from their surroundings.

In addition, three of her brothers-in-law were born with congenital hearing loss, so she also took extra care to monitor every baby in the house. “I always have that fear in my heart,” she said. The baby was initially taken to a private hospital in Chennai. The baby was later taken to the Government Kilpawk Medical College Hospital as private hospitals are charging her Rs 10,000 to her Rs 13,000 for the cochlear implant surgery. Dr S Muthuchitra, Head of the Department of Otolaryngology at the Government Kilpawk Medical College Hospital, said: He was 9 months old when he was brought to us. This is the youngest child to have cochlear implant surgery at a state public hospital. He was so glad he brought the kids so early. Now he can pick up spoken language like any other kid his age. “

Kranti, who is now 1 year and 2 months old, underwent surgery at the hospital in June of this year when he was 11 months old. “Now Kranti can say ‘Amma,'” Shanti said, her tears of joy running down her cheeks.

If the diagnosis of hearing loss is delayed, the child cannot hear or speak until hearing is restored with a cochlear implant or other hearing aid. “In such cases, the child is always lacking in language development. said an audiologist and speech therapist at a medical college hospital.
