Every year, World Hearing Day falls on 3rd March. Imagine a world that is silent – no birds chirping, no music and no words to be heard. That’s how 7-year-old Suri (not her real name) has heard the world for the past 3 years. However, in January this year, her silent world took a delightful turn for the better.
 

Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City granted Suri the gift of hearing with a Cochlear implant using a 3D Exoscope. This robot-assisted technology with 3D cameras is commonly used in neurosurgery and Dr Shailendra Sivalingam, Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon decided to harness the machine’s advantages in providing better visibility and ergonomics during Cochlear implant surgery.
