In the last 18 months, the Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) at Army Hospital Research and Referral (R&R) in Delhi Cantonment has successfully completed 50 bilateral simultaneous cochlear implants. According to a press release from the Ministry of Defence, this outstanding accomplishment places Army Hospital (R&R) as the only public hospital in the nation to have completed this many successful bilateral cochlear implants.
