What are cochlear implants?
Cochlear implants are one of the most classic medical advancements of the past century that aim to treat a majority of hearing conditions, ranging from partial to complete hearing loss. They work by bypassing the diseased inner ear and directly stimulating the hearing (cochlear) nerve.
