Uma ulahlekelwe kakhulu ukuzwa, ungahlomula ngokufakwa kwe-cochlear. Le yithuluzi elifakwe ngokuhlinzwa ku-cochlea yakho, ithambo elimise okwendlebe endlebeni yakho yangaphakathi.

Ukufakwa kwe-cochlear kuguqula imisindo ibe yimizwa kagesi, ehunyushwa ubuchopho. Ihlose ukufaka esikhundleni somsebenzi we-cochlea.

Kodwa-ke, le divayisi ayifanele wonke umuntu, futhi kunezinkinga ezingaba khona. Ukuphumelela ukusebenzisa ukufakwa kwe-cochlear kudinga ukwelashwa nokuqeqeshwa okubanzi.

Kulesi sihloko, sizohlola ukuthi idivayisi isebenza kanjani nokuthi inqubo ifaka ini. Sizophinda sihlanganise izindleko, ubuhle, nobubi.

Kuyini ukufakelwa kwe-cochlear?

Ukufakwa kwe-cochlear kungumshini omncane wezobuchwepheshe othuthukisa ukulahleka kokuzwa okulingene kuya kokubi kakhulu. Isetshenziselwa ukusiza ukuzwa kokuzwa kubantu abadala, ezinganeni, nasezinsaneni.

Umshini usebenza ngokuvuselela amandla kagesi i-cochlear nerve. Inezinto ezingaphandle nezangaphakathi.

Imifanekiso ka-Diego Sabogal

I- ingxenye yangaphandle ibekwe ngemuva kwendlebe. Siqukethe umbhobho, othola amaza omsindo. Iprosesa yenkulumo ihlaziya imisindo bese iyiphendula ibe amasiginali edijithali.

Lezi zimpawu zithunyelwa kusidlulisi, esizidlulisela kumamukeli wangaphakathi. Isidlulisi nesamukeli kubanjwa ndawonye ngozibuthe.

I- ingxenye yangaphakathi ifakwe ngaphansi kwesikhumba, ngemuva kwendlebe. Lapho owemukelayo ethola amasiginali edijithali, uwaguqula abe izinkanuko zikagesi.

Le mikhuba ithunyelwa kuma-electrode akwi-cochlea, evusa imizwa ye-cochlear. Inzwa ibadlulisela ebuchosheni. Umphumela uba umuzwa wokuzwa.

Yize ubuchopho buzoyibona imisindo, abufani nokuzwa okujwayelekile. Ukwelashwa kwenkulumo nokuvuselelwa kuyadingeka ukuze ufunde ukutolika kahle le misindo.

Ngobani abafaneleka kangcono?

Ukufakwa kwe-cochlear akulungele wonke umuntu. Izingane, izingane, nabantu abadala bangaba ukhetho oluhle uma ngabe:

• ukulahlekelwa okukhulu kwezindlebe ezindlebeni zombili
• azitholakali izinzuzo ezivela ezindlekweni zokuzwa
• azikho izimo zezokwelapha ezingakhuphula ubungozi bokuhlinzwa

Njengomuntu omdala, ungahle futhi ube ukhetho olufanele uma:

• abe nokuzwa okungekho emthethweni okuphazamisa ukuxhumana okukhulunywayo
• ilahlekelwe yikho konke noma ukuzwa kwakho kamuva empilweni
• kuncike ekufundweni kwezindebe, noma ngabe kunezinsiza-kuzwa
• bazimisele ukuzibophezela ekuvuseleleni
• qonda ukuthi iziphi izimila ze-cochlear ezingakwazi futhi ezingakwazi ukuzenza

Udokotela ohlinzayo wezindlebe nodlebe, ikhala, nomphimbo (ENT) anganquma ukuthi ngabe le divayisi ikulungele yini.

Ihluke kanjani kunosizo lokuzwa?

Insiza yokuzwa futhi iyithuluzi lezokwelapha lokulahlekelwa ukuzwa. Kodwa ngokungafani nokufakwa kwe-cochlear, ayidlulisi amasiginali womsindo ngama-electrode.

Esikhundleni salokho, izinsiza-kuzwa zisebenzisa imakrofoni, i-amplifier, kanye nesipika ukwenza imisindo iphakeme. Lokhu kungakusiza uzwe izinto kangcono.

Futhi, izinsiza-kuzwa azifakwanga ngokuhlinzwa. Agqokwe ngaphakathi noma ngemuva kwendlebe.

Izinsiza-kuzwa ngokuvamile zilungile uma unokulahlekelwa kokuzwa okuncane kuya kokulingene. Izinga ledivayisi lokukhulisa lincike ebangeni lakho lokulahlekelwa ukuzwa.

Izinsiza ezithile zokuzwa zingasiza ekulahlekelweni okukhulu kokuzwa, kepha kwesinye isikhathi ngeke zikusize ukuqonda ukukhuluma. Kulokhu, ukufakwa kwe-cochlear kungaba yindlela engcono.

Kubiza malini ukufakelwa i-cochlear?

Ngaphandle komshwalense, ukufakwa kwe-cochlear kungabiza phakathi kuka- $ 30,000 kuya ku- $ 50,000 ngokwesilinganiso, ngokusho kwesibhedlela i-Boys Town National Research.

Abahlinzeki abaningi bomshuwalense bahlanganisa ukufakelwa kwama-cochlear noma ingxenye yabo. Le divayisi ibuye imbozwe ngabakwaMedicare, Medicaid, kanye neVeterans Affairs.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kuzodingeka ukuthi ushintshe izingxenye ezinjengemakrofoni nozibuthe. Ungadinga futhi ukulungiswa. Ezinye izinhlelo zomshuwalense zihlanganisa lezi zindleko.

Uzofuna ukukhuluma nomhlinzeki wakho womshuwalense ukuze uthole kahle ukuthi yini ehlanganisiwe nokuthi uzoba nezindleko ezingaphandle kwezikhwama.

Yiziphi izinzuzo nezingozi zokufakwa kwe-cochlear?

Njengamanye amadivayisi amaningi ezokwelapha, kunezinzuzo nezingozi zokufakwa kwe-cochlear.

Buhle

Uma ulahlekelwe kakhulu ukuzwa, ukufakwa kwe-cochlear kungakhuphula izinga lempilo yakho.

Izinzuzo zincike kwinqubo yakho nenqubo yokuvuselela. Ngokufakwa kwe-cochlear, ungahle ukwazi uku:

• izwa imisindo ehlukene, njengezinyathelo
• qonda inkulumo ngaphandle kokufunda izindebe
• ezwe amazwi ocingweni
• uzwe umculo
• bukela i-TV ngaphandle kwamazwibela

Ezinganeni nasebancane, le divayisi ingabasiza ukuthi bafunde ukukhuluma.

Nebubi

Ukuhlinzwa kokufakwa kwe-Cochlear inqubo ephephile ngokujwayelekile. Noma kunjalo, iveza izingozi ezingaba khona, njenge:

• ukopha
• ukuvuvukala
• ukukhala endlebeni (tinnitus)
• isiyezi
• ukutheleleka endaweni yokuhlinzwa
• umlomo owomile
• izinguquko zokunambitheka
• ukukhubazeka ebusweni
• izingqinamba ezilinganiselayo
• meningitis
• ukuhlinzwa ukukhipha okutshalwe (ngenxa yokutheleleka) noma ukulungisa ukufakelwa okungaphelele

Izingozi zakho ezithile zixhomeke kwizimo zakho zezempilo nezempilo.

Futhi, ukufakelwa kwama-cochlear akubuyisi ukuzwa okujwayelekile. Kwabanye abantu, kungahle kungabasizi ngalutho.

Okunye okubi okungaba khona kufaka:

• ukususa into yangaphandle ukugeza noma ukubhukuda
• uvuselele njalo amabhethri noma usebenzise amasha
• ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa kwemvelo okusele endlebeni ngokufakwa
• ukulimala kokufakwa ngesikhathi somsebenzi wezemidlalo noma ezingozini
• ukuvuselelwa okubanzi ukukusiza ufunde ukuthi ungakusebenzisa kanjani ukufakelwa

Kusho ukuthini ukuhlinzwa kokufakelwa kwe-cochlear?

Uma odokotela bakho benquma ukuthi ungazuza ekufakweni kwe-cochlear, bazochaza ukuthi yini ehilelekile futhi bahlele ukuhlinzwa.

Nakhu okuvame ukwenzeka:

1. Ngaphambi kokuhlinzwa, unikezwa i-anesthesia ejwayelekile ukukwenza ulale.
2. Uma usulele, udokotela wakho ohlinzayo udala ukusikeka ngemuva kwendlebe yakho futhi enze ukuqaqanjelwa okuncane ethanjeni le-mastoid.
3. Udokotela wakho ohlinzayo wenza imbobo encane ku-cochlea. Bese befaka ama-electrode emgodini.
4. Okulandelayo, bafaka umamukeli ngemuva kwendlebe yakho, ngaphansi kwesikhumba. Bayivikela ekhakhayini bese bethunga imbobo.
5. Lapho ukuhlinzwa sekuqedile, uzothuthelwa egumbini lokutakula, lapho uvuka khona. Uzobhekwa eduze ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi awunayo imiphumela emibi evela ekuhlinzeni.
6. Ngokujwayelekile uzokhishwa emahoreni ambalwa ngemuva kokuhlinzwa noma ngosuku olulandelayo.

Ngaphambi kokuthi uphume esibhedlela, uchwepheshe wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo uzokukhombisa ukuthi ungasinakekela kanjani leso sigcawu.

Uzoba nokuqokwa kokulandelela cishe ngesonto elizayo, ngakho udokotela wakho ohlinzayo angabheka ukusikeka futhi abone ukuthi kusinda kanjani. Ukusikeka kudinga ukwelashwa ngaphambi kokufakwa.

Cishe inyanga eyodwa ngemuva kokuhlinzwa, udokotela wakho uzokwengeza izingxenye zangaphandle. Izingxenye zangaphakathi zizobe sezisebenza.

Phakathi nezinyanga ezimbalwa ezizayo, uzodinga ukubona udokotela wakho njalo ukuze enze ukulungiswa. Uzodinga futhi ukwelashwa okubizwa nge-audiologic rehabilitation. Lokhu kuzokusiza uthuthukise amakhono akho okuzwa nokukhuluma. Imvamisa kufaka ukusebenza ne-audiologist noma i-pathologist yolimi lokukhuluma.

Okubalulekile

Uma izinsiza-kuzwa zingakwazi ukuthuthukisa ukuzwa noma inkulumo yakho, ungahle ube yilunga elifanele lokufakwa kwe-cochlear.

Lo mshini, ofakwa ngokuhlinzwa ku-cochlea yakho, uguqula imisindo ibe amandla kagesi, ahunyushwa ubuchopho bakho.

Isazi sokuzwa sizosebenzisa izivivinyo zokuzwa nokuhlolwa kwe-imaging ukusiza ukunquma ukuthi kulungile yini kuwe, kanye nezinga lakho lokulahlekelwa ukuzwa.

Ngemuva kokuhlinzwa, kubalulekile ukuzibophezela ekuvuseleleni i-audiologic. Lokhu kubalulekile ekuthuthukiseni umbono wakho nokusebenzisa ukufakelwa kwe-cochlear ngempumelelo.
