The
cochlear implant is a new device for restoration of hearing when a
hearing aid is not enough or no hearing exists. It is the only
medical technology able to functionally restore a human sense –
Hearing. It works differently from a hearing aid in that it does not
amplify the sound, but actually replaces the function of hearing by
taking in the sound and sending the sound signal to the hearing
nerve.
