In 1960 Nixon won the Republican presidential nomination. After his eight years as Eisenhower's deputy, Nixon was expected to win. However, the Democratic candidate, John F. Kennedy, ran a successful campaign and won by just 100,000 votes out of the 68 million cast.
A cochlear implant is an electronic device that restores partial hearing to individuals with severe to profound hearing loss who do not benefit from a conventional hearing aid. It is surgically implanted in the inner ear and activated by a device worn outside the ear.
The Cochlea is Similar to a Microphone. During the process of hearing, sound waves vibrate against the ear drum. Vibrations in ear require far less energy than vibrating fluid. Since the cochlea is fluid filled, there is a need to increase the amount of energy in order to adequately vibrate the fluid. In order to achieve this, the ear drum is about 13 times the size of the oval window.
