These days many people suffer from mild-to-moderate hearing loss problem and hearing aids have become a practical solution for improving the problem of hearing.

It is an electronic device which stimulates the auditory nerve with electric signals which the brain can understand as sound. Cochlear implants are considered the only machinery available to functionally re-establish one of the five senses. In contrast to hearing aids, which intensify sound, these electronic devices bypass the damaged part of the inner so that person can hear it best. People who have cochlear implant are hear clearly in noisy environment, enjoy music and reconnect with friends and family.

A cochlear implant is a small, complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. The implant consists of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed under the skin.

The cochlear implant consists of following parts:
•   Microphone
•   Speech Processor
•   A signal transmitter
•   An array of electrodes

 

The microphone picks up sound from the environment and the speech processor processes the sound selected by microphone. The transmitter then works to receive signals from speech processor to convert them into electric impulses. These impulses are then collected by the array of electrodes. These electrodes stimulate the auditory nerve thereby producing the sound which is then perceived.

Although cochlear implants do not provide normal hearing yet the implants help children in development of speech - language and social skills. In adults the surgery helps in producing representation of sound among adults who are severely hard of hearing.
