Cochlear implants are electronic devices made up of two parts: an implanted component that is inserted during an operation, and external components worn on the head or body like a hearing aid. Cochlear implants provide a sensation of hearing for people who cannot obtain useful benefit from conventional hearing aids; the implant bypasses the damaged hair cells in the inner ear and stimulates the nerve of hearing directly. They are appropriate for both adults and children with severe to profound hearing impairment in both ears.
