00:00When we talk about children, it is important to touch on the issue of precociousness.
00:04In the sense that today we are able to diagnose deafness in the first days of a child's life.
00:13This is thanks to the Neonatal Hearing Screening, which has become universal here in Italy.
00:19These children are then sent to second-level audiological centers for diagnosis.
00:25This diagnosis can be performed with the right equipment, technology and skills in very early stages.
00:33What does this mean?
00:35It means a precociousness of what are then the therapeutic prospects.
00:40Acoustic prosthesis in moderate deafness and later in deep deafness,
00:50the cochlear implant, which has changed the fate of these children.
00:56What does this entail?
01:00It entails the fact that we assume an act of responsibility in a very early stage of the child compared to what will be his life.
01:08Therefore, robotic surgery, thanks to this possibility of inserting the electrode according to a speed and a programmed direction of insertion,
01:24allows to be particularly self-traumatic and therefore to allow,
01:31to leave open to the future those that may be the new applications of the future in a child of a few months.
