Track: Cochlear Implants

Cochlear Implants

Cochlear Implant is a complex e-device that helps to sense of sound to a deaf person. Cochlear Implant is different from hearing aid. Cochlear implants use a sound processor captures sound signals and sends them to a receiver implanted under the skin behind the ear. The receiver sends the signals to electrodes implanted in the snail-shaped inner ear. It stimulates the auditory nerve and directs the signals to the brain. The brain interprets those signals as sounds. Cochlear implants can improve their communication and quality of life than hearing aids.
