Cochlea Pune for Hearing and Speech (CPHS) is a significant institution dedicated to supporting children with severe hearing impairments, especially in the early developmental stages of 0 to 6 years. Their focus is on providing comprehensive rehabilitation through a combination of medical intervention (such as cochlear implants) and intensive speech and hearing therapy, followed by specialized education.

The goal of CPHS is to help children with hearing disabilities not only gain the ability to hear but also to develop speaking, reading, and communication skills, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into regular schooling by around the 4th grade level. With this intervention, the children go on to lead normal, independent lives, much like their hearing peers. This includes participating fully in society, pursuing education, and ultimately enjoying a fulfilling adult life.

The role of BSI’s support funds in this context is crucial. By funding the CPHS's educational and training programs, BSI ensures that children from all economic backgrounds can access this life-changing support, enabling them to overcome their hearing impairments and thrive academically and socially. The focus on inclusive access allows every child, regardless of their family’s financial situation, to have a fair shot at becoming a successful, independent individual throughout their life.

This holistic approach—medical, educational, and social—ensures that children with hearing impairments are not left behind, but are empowered to achieve their full potential.
