A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that can help "make" sound if you have a certain type of severe hearing loss in both ears. The implant does the job of the damaged or absent nerve cells that in a normal ear make it possible to hear. Cochlear implants can be programmed according to your specific link and degree of hearing loss.
Cochlear implants have been shown to improve a person's ability to understand speech and speak clearly.
Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants do not make sounds louder but improve how well you hear sound. The microphone picks up sound and sends it to the speech processor, which changes the sound to information the cochlear implant can understand.
The implant then tells the nerves in the ear to send a message to the brain. The message is understood as sound. Speech therapy will help you make the most of your cochlear implant.

Training in listening, language, and speech-reading skills paying attention to people's gestures, facial expressions, posture, and tone of voice also help you. Cochlear implants have a low rate of complications, which may include:. Bacterial meningitis occurs more often in children with cochlear implants than in children the same age who do not have implants. It is possible that a cochlear implant can be affected by a magnetic resonance imaging MRI scan. This could cause the implant to stop working.]
In it something is also to me it seems it is excellent idea. Completely with you I will agree.
