A child from outstation presented to me with bilateral profound hearing loss and speech delay. Our team assessment support bilateral cochlear implant and parents able to fund for their child. Hence, today I performed the bilateral simultaneous CI with AB implant . I have done so many bilateral simultaneous CI but this is my first bilateral simultaneous with AB Hires Ultra 3 D implant! Wishing child a speedy recovery and start to hear and learn to speak soon.

Today on 26 May 2026, I am so thankful and also proud to share the good news that ENT UKM achieved another milestone where the First Paediatric Cochlear™ Osia® Implant at Hospital Tunku Ampuan Besar Tuanku Aishah Rohani (TABTAR), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia was successfully performed.

In Malaysia, the Cochlear™ Osia® System was introduced in February last year in 2025 , and to date, only a small number of adult patients have undergone implantation of this device. The surgery today on a 6-year-7-month-old boy mark a significant milestone, not only being the first paediatric implantation of the Cochlear™ Osia® System in Malaysia but also the youngest child that underwent this surgery in Southeast Asia. This child has bilateral microtia and canal atresia causing bilateral conductive hearing loss.

Microtia and congenital aural atresia are uncommon but important congenital malformations of the external ear and ear canal, often occurring together and requiring early audiological assessment to prevent speech and language delays. These conditions affect approximately 1 in 7000 to 10,000 births, occur more often unilaterally, and are more common in males and Asian populations. Their causes are multifactorial, with about 15% showing familial patterns, and may be linked to genetic syndromes such as Goldenhar, Treacher Collins, and CHARGE.

Early identification of hearing loss allows timely intervention, supporting normal speech and language development. Children who receive appropriate hearing technology early can achieve communication outcomes comparable to their hearing peers. While well‑fitted air‑conduction hearing aids provide excellent results for many, they are unsuitable for children with anatomical abnormalities, active middle‑ear disease etc . In such cases, bone‑conduction hearing devices such as OSIA offer an effective and reliable alternative. FDA approved for the used of OSIA implant in children 5 years and older in 2024.
Thank you to my ENT team in hospital TABTAR and Faculty of Medicine, UKM, unit anaesthesiology (Prof Rufinah and team), unit audiology and speech and support form nursing staffs and others that helped directly and indirectly that made the surgery a success!

Today clinic at HCTM side, busy as usual. One of the patient is our UKM first cochlear implant recipient. The surgery was performed in 1995 by the pioneer team Prof Lokman, my sifu! I continue the care as sifu retired many years already. I explained to my students how cochlear implant changed his life! Cochlear implant is able to help him to hear again and continue his education until university! He is a lecturer at Teaching college at Terengganu. My team today consists of medical students, postgraduate students, specialists who are my fellows; one from local and one international from Bahrain.

自从年头到现在已经做了十多个耳蜗手术。有小宝宝，有两三岁的孩子，有年轻人，也有中年的病人。听到他们无法听到声音，无法与家人，朋友沟通时，我都会尽力的去照顾他们，帮助他们。希望他们可以早点恢复听力，早点能像其他的人用语言表达自己， 与家人，与朋友用语言相处，用语言沟通。 可是我也知道这是件不简单的事。所以我希望他们能够得到大家的支持与鼓励！ 我也希望他们会被这个世界爱着！

Today Natalie came for appointment (yearly follow up). She is already in university studying special education to help the children in future. She is our youngest C I recipient in early 2000 when she was implanted at 11.5 months old by my sifu Prof Lokman. I took care of her and arranged her appointment for surgery and assisted the case in 2005. Very happy to see she progressed well and I must say excellent achievement in her academic and co curriculum! Super important to have the parents Raymond and Gina that involved actively in her rehabilitation. Congratulations to the proud parents!

Today 3 March is World Hearing Day! This year, WHD highlights the theme “From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children.”
The campaign focuses on two imperatives:
Preventing avoidable childhood hearing loss
Ensuring early identification of and care for children with ear or hearing problems
Schools and communities are natural entry points to reach children, parents, and teachers. By integrating hearing care into school health and child health programmes, we can help children hear, learn, and succeed. (Copy paste from WHO website)!
I would like to share the recent article on bilateral hearing loss child that received bilateral Cochlear Implant for hearing rehabilitation and this case also mark a new milestone for early activation (switch on ) within a week after surgery. I am happy with the wound at the end of surgery and during follow up, hence the switch on was post op day 5! Thank you to my rehab team for the support!
Wishing the child a smooth hearing journey !
