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.
A person with a cochlear implant also wears a hearing aid like device that has a microphone, a processor and a transducer. The processor manipulates what the microphone hears and sends a signal to the transducer, which is usually worn just behind the ear.
