Cochlear implants & cochlear implant technology

The cochlear implant is an electronic medical device that can act on damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea) and send voice signals to the brain.

The cochlear implant is an electronic medical device that replaces the function of the damaged inner ear. Unlike a hearing aid that makes the sound bigger, the cochlear implant acts on the damaged part of the inner ear (cochlea) and sends a sound signal to the brain.

Many people transplant cochlear implants (both sides). Listening with both ears improves the ability to recognize the direction of the sound and separate the sounds that you do not want to hear and those that you do not want to hear.

Many people are suffering from hearing loss due to damage of inner ear and hair cells (or cochlear) hair cells. The cochlear inner ear allows the sound to be transmitted to your acoustic nerve and allows you to hear that sound. The process is as follows.

The sound processor mounted behind the ears and the body captures the sound and converts it to digital code. The sound processor has a battery to supply power to the entire system

The sound processor sends a digitally encoded sound to the implant via a coil outside the head

The implant converts digitally encoded sounds into electric pulses and transmits them along the array of electrodes placed in the cochlea (inner ear).

The electrode of the implant stimulates the auditory nerve of the cochlea and then sends a pulse to the brain where they are interpreted as sound

Previous studies have shown that cochlear implants achieve an average of 80% sentence comprehension and hearing aids have an understanding rate of 10%.

This allows them to talk to people at conference tables, restaurants and other crowded places.

The benefits of cochlear implants vary from individual to individual. This difference is usually due to the following reasons.

Please consult your doctor or health care professional for advice on hearing loss treatment. They will be able to provide solutions that are suitable for hearing loss situations. All products can only be used under the direction of a doctor or medical professional.

Details of the cochlear implant can be obtained from the cochlear implant clinician, scientist, and American Cochlear Implant Alliance, a non-profit organization of consumer advocates. A more detailed reference version of this clinical guide is available on the ACI Alliance website.

The purpose of this website is to provide information on cochlear implants, links to implants approved by FDA, explanations of benefits and risks of the cochlear implant, and news on the collection and safety of cochlear implants. Here you can also find information on the educators of the implant user, the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative situation, and the place to report the problem. The FDA regulates manufacturers of cochlear implants. For manufacturers selling cochlear implants in the United States, they must first certify to the FDA that their implants are safe and effective. As a matter of policy, the FDA does not evaluate or recommend brands that have embedded cochlear implants or medical facilities.

I underwent surgery at the age of 2 and planted cochlear implants on my right ear. Back then, I was the youngest cochlear implant in Western Australia. I am thankful for this opportunity and thank the world of beautiful hearing, artificial inner ear technology, and blessing in my life. To be honest, I could not imagine what my life would be like a cochlear implant and all happy sounds I can hear without base music!
