A cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. Cochlear implants are often called bionic ears.
Cochlear implants may help provide hearing in patients that are not deaf because of damage to sensory hair cells in their cochleas. In those patients, the implants often can enable sufficient hearing for better understanding of speech. The quality of sound is different from natural hearing, with less sound information being received and processed by the brain. However, many patients are able to hear and understand speech and environmental sounds. Newer devices and processing-strategies
allow recipients to hear better in noise, enjoy music, and even use their implant processors while swimming.
As of December 2010, approximately 219,000 people worldwide have received cochlear implants; in the U.S.,
roughly 42,600 adults and 28,400 children are recipients.[

The vast majority are in developed countries due to the high cost of the device, surgery and post-implantationtherapy. A small but growing segment of recipients have bilateral implants for hearing stereo sound (one implant in each cochlea).[
