For the first time, Lvov doctors performed an operation to implant a bone hearing aid in an adult. Thus, the Ukrainian fighter, who almost completely lost his hearing in the battle, was restored to the ability to hear. The First Medical Association of Lvov reported this today, February 8.

“47-year-old Yuri’s hearing began to deteriorate after a series of concussions received in the front. As a result of repeated damage from blast waves, the soldier’s auditory nerve was damaged. Over of time, the man completely stopped hearing in his right ear, and his hearing in his left ear decreased by up to 30%. One “from Yuri’s sworn brothers, who was treated at the adult hospital of the First Medical Unit of Lvov, advised him to contact our specialists. And they are. the plaintiff was referred to the otolaryngologists of St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital, in particular Tatyana Zabrovarna, who has significant experience in implanting hearing systems,” the message said.

It is reported that the defender seeks to return to duty as soon as possible, so the doctors have chosen a method with a short period of rehabilitation.

They decided to undergo bone implantation surgery for the BAHA conduction system. After such an intervention, recovery takes only one month. These operations have been successfully performed for children in St. Nicholas Hospital for four years now. But for an adult – for the first time. And not only in our hospital and medical association, but also in Lviv in general. Our otolaryngologists implant an implant in the warrior, directly in the bone behind the ear, which is attached with a magnet. When the defender’s wound healed after the intervention, a processor was installed above his ear, which sends sound through the bone to the auditory nerve and makes it possible to hear again. After regaining his hearing, Yuri returned to service. Thank you warrior for your trust and protection!” message continues.
