If you or your loved on are straining to hear each day, even\nwhen using powerful hearing aids, cochlear implants may be a solution. Cochlear\nimplants work differently than hearing aids. Hearing aids help those who have\nmild to severe hearing loss and have some remaining healthy sensory hair cells\nin the inner ear that can transmit sound to the brain using amplification.\nCochlear implants help those with moderate to profound hearing loss in both\nears who are not receiving enough benefit when using hearing aids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Cochlear Implants Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cochlear implants are designed to mimic the function of a healthy inner ear (or cochlea). They replace the function of damaged sensory hair cells inside the inner ear to help provide clearer sound than what hearing aids can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are designed to help you get back the sounds you’ve been missing by giving you the clarity you need to hear better and understand speech, even in noisy situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cochlear implant system, like the industry-leading Cochlear\u2122\nNucleus\u00ae System, has two parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The external sound processor<\/li>
  • The implant that is surgically placed under the\nskin and attached to an electrode array that is placed in the inner ear.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Together, these parts bypass the part of the ear that isn\u2019t\nworking, sending sound straight to the hearing nerve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
