Diagnosed with #hearing loss as a toddler, Viral Shah knows the impact of #cochlearimplants firsthand. Today, he's helping advance robotic-assisted cochlear implant surgery at iotaMotion. "Knowing that 1,525 patients have received an implant using #iotaSOFT is very meaningful."

Congratulations to Dr. Hitomi Sakano at @UTSWENT on becoming the first surgeon in Texas to complete a FLEX 34 insertion with #iotaSOFT. The CI procedure was performed at an insertion speed of 0.1 mm/second, demonstrating the controlled approach enabled by robotic assistance.

Every #cochlearimplant journey is unique, but the goal is always the same: helping patients reconnect with sound. We're grateful to @emoryhealthcare for sharing Farod's story and pioneering robotic-assisted cochlear implant surgery in Georgia: bit.ly/4eg56o8
