The cochlear implant gets its name from the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear responsible for converting sound vibrations into neural signals. The implant is designed to bypass damaged hair cells in the cochlea, directly stimulating the auditory nerve to provide a sense of sound to individuals with severe hearing loss. The term "implant" reflects its surgical placement within the body, allowing it to function effectively in delivering auditory information.
