Southern ENT is Cochlear’s proud distributor in sub-Saharan Africa. We distribute both the Nucleus® cochlear implant and bone anchored (Baha®) implant. The Nucleus® is a cochlear implant solution for adults and children with moderate to profound hearing loss due to hair cell damage within the cochlea. The Baha® overcomes hearing loss as a result of outer or middle ear complications.
With 30 years of innovations and industry firsts, Cochlear™ has earned the loyalty of clinicians and people with hearing loss worldwide. With the largest market share (over 90%) in this industry in South Africa and neighbouring contries, Cochlear™ equips Southern ENT to provide a superior product and service to connect people with hearing disabilities to sound. Independent research confirms that 9 out of 10 professionals and patients turn to Cochlear™ for implant reliability, service and life-long commitment to their hearing journey.
It is Southern ENT's mission to help people who are moderate to profoundly deaf to hear NOW. We believe in the joy of sound and commit to giving you the best products – for life.
Upgrading patients with the latest technological advancements is part of our lifetime commitment. Patients can be sure that Cochlear™ is working on compatible innovations to improve their hearing performance, whether you were implanted yesterday or 30 years ago.
We believe our differentiating strength lies in our commitment to professionals who provide hearing, rehabilitation and educational services to patients. We employ audiologists with years of experience to render a life-long pre- and post- implant support service to these professionals. We value and safeguard our relationships to ensure the best hearing outcomes of our patients - now and always.
Choosing a Nucleus® or Baha® implant guarantees that you will partner with a company that forms sustainable solutions for your hearing care in South Africa. With well-established cochlear implant clinics across South Africa, Cochlear™ and Southern ENT donate substantially to NGOs and University Hospitals to ensure that these clinics can afford to maintain the excellent quality of care and professionalism that ensure you HEAR NOW. AND ALWAYS.
