Understanding Cochlear Implants
A cochlear implant is a sophisticated medical device that consists of two main parts: an external component that sits behind the ear and a surgically implanted component that is placed under the skin. Together, they work to provide a sense of sound to those who are profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing.
How It Works
This process enables users to engage in conversations more naturally, enhancing social interactions and restoring independence.
Understanding Cochlear Implants
It's essential to determine if you're a suitable candidate for a cochlear implant. Some factors considered include:
