What Is a Cochlear Implant?

A CI is a surgically implanted device that provides a sense of sound to individuals with moderateto profound hearing loss.

It is designed to bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve.The Components of a Cochlear Implant

There are two main components to a CI: the internal implant and the external sound processor. The internal implant is surgically placed under the skin behind the ear, while the external sound processor is worn on the outside of the ear.How Cochlear Implants Work

The external sound processor captures sound waves and converts them into digital signals. These signals are then transmitted to the internal implant, which sends electrical impulses to the auditory nerve. The brain interprets these impulses as sound.What Are the Pros and Cons Associated with Cochlear Implant Use?Testimonials on Cochlear Implants
