A cochlear implant is a medical device designed to help individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. It bypasses damaged hair cells in the cochlea and directly stimulates the auditory nerve, allowing the recipient to perceive sound. This device can significantly improve the ability to understand speech and environmental sounds, enhancing communication and quality of life for those affected by hearing loss.
