In 1996, Canossian School set up an Audiological Department. The school then embarked on a cochlear implant project with Singapore General Hospital (SGH). The Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) doctors at SGH undertook the implant procedure, while the school handled the habilitation process which integrated pre- and post-cochlear implant assessments, mapping of pupil’s implants, family counselling and educational services.
