It is an electronic device which helps in restoring partial hearing. It is implanted surgically in the inner ear and is activated using a device which is worn behind the ear. This device converts the sound impulses to electronic impulses which are thereafter transmitted to the hearing nerve which carries the auditory signals to the brain. The cochlear implant directly bypasses the damaged parts of auditory system, stimulating the hearing nerve and letting the individuals receive sound properly. Cochlear implant is the only efficient device for this group of patients and is widely accepted across the world.
