Cochlear implants
Cochlear implants are a way for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss to experience sound. Unlike hearing aids which amplify sound, cochlear implants bypass the damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. An external processor captures sounds and sends them as signals to an internal implant. This implant then delivers these signals to the cochlea, allowing the brain to recognize them as sound. It’s a sophisticated system that offers a pathway to hearing when traditional methods aren’t enough.
