Cochlear Implant

Cochlear implants are prosthetic hearing devices that help restore hearing partially in people with sensorineural hearing loss. There are external and internal units of this implant. The internal component is placed inside the ear surgically under general anesthesia. These implants bypass the defective parts of the ear and carry sounds from the external environment to stimulate the auditory nerve in signaling the brain.
