The device contains an external portion that stays behind the ear and an internal portion is placed under the skin. An implant has the following parts:  A microphone to pick up sound from the environment  A speech processor that selects and displays sounds picked up by the microphone  A transmitter and receiver to receive signals from the speech processor and convert them into electric impulses  An electrode array with a group of electrodes to collect the impulses from the stimulator and send them to different regions of the auditory nerve.

  3. An implant offers a useful representation of sounds to the deaf persons and helps them to understand speech. How Does it Work? A cochlear implant is not similar to a hearing aid. The aids increase sounds that are detected by damaged ears. Cochlear implants bypass damaged portions of the ear and activate the auditory nerve directly. Generated signals are sent by the way of the auditory nerve to the brain. It recognizes the signals as sound. This allows people to identify warning signals and understand other sounds in the environment. Children and adults who are deaf or critically hard-of-hearing are suitable for using cochlear implants. If you have lost all or most of your hearing in life, then you can also benefit from a cochlear implant specialist near you.
