Dr. Jitendra Mohan Hans

Dr Jitendra Mohan Hans is a Senior Consultant in Pediatric ENT & Cochlear Implant at Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Malviya Nagar, New Delhi, with 48 years of experience. His qualifications are MBBS, DLO and MS in Otorhinolaryngology, and Rainbow identifies him as a Padma Shri awardee with longstanding expertise in hearing-restoration surgery.

His principal clinical work includes cochlear implantation, auditory brainstem implantation, tympanoplasty and myringoplasty. Rainbow states that he has performed more than 3,000 cochlear implant surgeries and treats both children and adults with hearing impairment, with particular expertise in paediatric ENT and cochlear implant care.

Dr Hans is Chairman and Director of the Dr Hans Centre for ENT & Cochlear Implant and a founder member of the Cochlear Implant Group of India. His current Rainbow profile also notes national advisory roles with organisations and programmes concerned with deafness, speech and hearing, including the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Deafness.

He received the Padma Shri in 2005. His work in complex hearing rehabilitation includes brainstem implantation as well as cochlear implantation, while suitability for an implant depends on audiological findings, hearing history, imaging and specialist assessment rather than diagnosis alone.

For international families seeking an ENT or implant opinion, useful records include recent audiograms, tympanometry, hearing-aid history, speech assessments and CT or MRI scans where available. India Medical Help can assist with submitting records and coordinating an enquiry with Rainbow Children’s Hospital; the treating ENT and audiology team determines candidacy and the final treatment plan.
