Prof. Piotr H. Skarżyński, MD, PhD MSc,  and his team performed three groundbreaking hearing implant surgeries. These innovative procedures took place on December 9, 2024, at the World Hearing Center and represent a milestone in the fields of otolaryngology and medical technology. Cochlear OSIA – a middle ear implant with bone conduction for a child For the first time in Poland, a Cochlear OSIA implant was implanted in a young patient. This modern bone conduction system helps children with middle ear damage hear better by transmitting sound directly to the cochlea. Thanks to this procedure, children with congenital or acquired defects can develop normally and enjoy full communication capabilities. Oticon Medical SENTIO – an implant for an adult The team also performed the first implantation of the Oticon Medical SENTIO implant in an adult patient in Poland. This advanced hearing system enables better sound perception even in difficult acoustic conditions. Thanks to this technology, adult patients with hearing loss have a chance to experience a significant improvement in their quality of life and daily functioning. Fully implantable cochlear implant As part of an international clinical trial, the first implantation of a fully implantable cochlear implant was performed in Poland. This solution eliminates the need for external device components. The patient can hear without wearing visible parts on the ear, marking a step towards greater discretion and user comfort. Breakthrough in medicine and hope for patients These three pioneering surgeries not only open up new therapeutic possibilities for patients with various types of hearing loss but also represent a significant step forward in the development of medical technologies. Thanks to them, hearing treatment in Poland is entering a new phase, providing patients with access to the most advanced solutions. We warmly congratulate the entire medical team for their dedication, professionalism, and groundbreaking achievements! photos by Anna Wojciechowska

This text discusses auditory structures that are key to the central processing of auditory information. Knowledge of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the central auditory nervous system (CANS) is important for health professionals and allows them to provide better guidance during interventions with patients. The newest bulletin focuses on one essential structure within the auditory system, the corpus callosum (CC). Authors: Milaine Dominici Sanfins, Andressa Pelaquim and Piotr Henryk Skarzynski We invite you to read the content of the bulletin.
