Our Mission

The Cochlear Implant Group of India (CIGI) was formed with a mission to expand the awareness and reach of hearing implant technologies in India by encouraging and supporting scientific research of the processes involved in cochlear implantation, ranging from basic auditory physiology, diagnosis of hearing disorders, auditory devices, surgical techniques, postoperative (re)habilitation and the overall management of the cochlear implant. It supports the exchange of information between the members and other international experts in this field. It aims to help institutions develop cochlear implant programmes at local levels by providing guidelines and also training for the concerned surgical, audiological and habilitation staff.
