Audiology and Speech Therapy Hospital in India 

Communication forms the core of our lives, and when this is compromised due to hearing or speech disorders, it has a profound impact on the social and emotional well-being of an individual. Gleneagles Hospital is the most preferred audiology and speech therapy hospital in India, providing expert care to individuals facing these challenges. The hospital's Department of Audiology & Speech Therapy promises to provide patients of any age with the best available treatment and rehabilitation that can be available, irrespective of whether it concerns hearing loss, speech delays or other problems in relation to communication.

  • Hearing Loss: It is either congenital or acquired and can vary between mild to profound in cases. It may occur unilaterally or bilaterally in a person. Many senior citizens suffer from hearing loss, but it is present in children and adults in some cases due to other causes such as genetics, infections or exposure to noise.
  • Speech Disorders: It encompasses conditions like stuttering, articulation disorders, voice disorders, and speech apraxia. It is possible to have speech disorders at any age. Speech disorders can prevent someone from speaking clearly and getting the message across.
  • Language Disorders: This refers to the failure in either comprehension or expression. Some may find it difficult to formulate sentences, use correct words, or comprehend others' messages.
  • Dysphagia: Usually a manifestation of neurological illness or ageing, swallowing disorders may render eating and drinking dangerous or challenging, hence causing malnutrition or aspiration.
  • Vestibular and Balance Disorders: The sense of hearing is interlinked with balance. Any disorder that may affect the balance could make the person dizzy or even suffer from vertigo, making him/her less confident about walking.

Treatments Offered

  • Cochlear Implants: There are cases where the loss of hearing is severe and cannot be improved with the help of hearing aids. There may be a choice of cochlear implants for patients. This device can bypass damaged parts of the ear and stimulate the auditory nerve directly.
  • Speech Therapy: It is one-to-one care with a licensed speech therapist to develop customized solutions for the patients to treat certain speech disorders. In these top speech therapy hospitals of India, some of those techniques might be articulation exercises, language development, and fluency-building techniques.
  • Swallowing Therapy: Swallowing therapy can be carried out by speech therapists to improve the swallowing of the patient suffering from dysphagia and exercise them for safe swallowing and proper intake without choking.
  • Balance Therapy: Our experts assess vestibular function and design treatment plans to help patients regain their balance and prevent falls, often involving exercises that target the inner ear and balance systems.
