About the Program
What Is the Trust-Supported Cochlear Implant Program?
Cochlear Implant Device - Funded by Shravya Foundation
For eligible children who qualify under the trust criteria, the cochlear implant device itself is fully funded by Shravya Foundation. Limited trust-supported cases are available (Note: If this is limited trust support). Terms and conditions apply.
Comprehensive Hearing Rehabilitation
Receiving the device is just the beginning. The program includes structured hearing rehabilitation and long-term follow-up care by the Bharti ENT specialist team to support speech and listening development.
Expert Evaluation at Bharti ENT
Every child is evaluated by our dedicated Cochlear Implant Team. Suitability is assessed carefully — only appropriate candidates are enrolled, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
A Collaboration With Purpose
Bharti ENT Hospital and Shravya Foundation share one goal: that no child with hearing loss misses the critical window of early intervention due to the cost of the device.

- Failed newborn hearing screening

- NICU stay of more than 5 days

What the Program Includes
Cochlear Implant Device
