Pre-Operative Candidacy Evaluation
Comprehensive speech perception testing in quiet and background noise, aided audiograms, and objective candidacy scoring according to UAE clinical protocols.
Intraoperative & Initial Activation
Objective electrode impedance checks, neural response telemetry (NRT/NRI) during surgery, and comfortable, structured initial switch-on sessions.
Advanced Device Fitting & MAP Optimization
Fine-tuned electric acoustic stimulation (EAS), bilateral balance mapping, dynamic range adjustment, and customized sound-processing strategies.
Pediatric Audiology & Auditory Tracking
Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA), play audiometry, real-ear verification, and coordinated milestone tracking with speech-language pathologists.
Integrated Audiology & ENT Surgical Care
Ms. Nesreen works synchronously with our ENT surgeons and speech-language therapy team to ensure candidacy assessments, surgical planning, and post-activation rehabilitation follow a cohesive, patient-centered protocol in Abu Dhabi.
Cochlear Implant Programming & Fitting Expertise
Led by Ms. Nesreen Al Otaibi, Senior Audiologist & Cochlear Implant Specialist at Tarabichi Mondy Cochlear Implant Center, Abu Dhabi. Comprehensive post-operative mapping, objective telemetry verification, and long-term acoustic refinement.
Individualized Sound Mapping by Ms. Nesreen Al Otaibi
Successful cochlear implantation relies on surgical precision paired with meticulous sound processor programming. Ms. Nesreen uses clinical telemetry, objective nerve-response measurements, and patient-guided auditory feedback to craft comfortable and natural sound perception for pediatric and adult candidates.
Evidence-Based Protocol
International clinical standards
Speech Therapy Alignment
Collaborative rehab integration
Clinical Programming Capabilities
Advanced electroacoustic diagnostic tools and post-operative customization.
Detailed per-electrode adjustment of stimulation rate, pulse width, and frequency bands tailored to individual cochlear anatomy.
Objective neural response measurements enabling accurate mapping for infants, non-verbal patients, and auditory neuropathy cases.
Harmonizing hearing aid acoustics on the contralateral ear with cochlear implant stimulation for unified binaural hearing.
Certified programming proficiency across Cochlear, MED-EL, Advanced Bionics, and Oticon Medical sound processor platforms.
The Post-Operative Programming Roadmap
From the delicate initial switch-on through lifelong annual acoustic optimization.
Initial Switch-On & Device Activation
The initial activation marks the patient's first acoustic experience through their implant system. Ms. Nesreen conducts comprehensive impedance telemetry to confirm electrode integrity before carefully introducing gentle auditory stimuli.
Clinical Actions & Focus Areas:
- Electrode array telemetry and impedance telemetry verification
- Setting baseline comfort levels (C-levels) and threshold levels (T-levels)
- Initial sound introduction tailored to reduce sensory overload
- Processor hardware handling, battery management, and care counseling
"Establish stable device connectivity and introduce comfortable acoustic perception without auditory fatigue."
