Recently I had the privilege of being the first surgeon in Southeast Asia to implant the new Cochlear™ Nucleus® NEXA.

It’s an exciting step forward for patients who rely on cochlear implants to reconnect with the world around them! The Nexa cochlear implant is the world’s first “smart” implant that stores your unique hearing settings on the chip and can receive firmware updates—just like your smartphone—so you can get better hearing over time without needing a new implant.

Cochlear implantation is truly a team effort, and what a team I have! .govil .sea
