Hyper-social and PLM. So, now this is a time to ask how all this related to Product Lifecycle Management. On the surface, you can tell me that there is no connection. The need to design, engineer, manufacture, sell and support products donât change. You are right and wrong at the same time.
What is a cochlear implant? A cochlear implant is an implanted electronic hearing device, designed to produce useful hearing sensations to a person with severe to profound nerve deafness by electrically stimulating nerves inside the inner ear. These implants usually consist of 2 main components:
A cochlear implant is very different from a hearing aid. Hearing aids amplify sounds so they may be detected by damaged ears. Cochlear implants bypass damaged portions of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Signals generated by the implant are sent by way of the auditory nerve to the brain, which recognizes the signals as sound. Hearing through a cochlear implant is different from normal hearing and takes time to learn or relearn.
