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.
Full Answer. There are three other common types of pillows including queen-size, king-size, and euro-size. The dimensions of a queen-sized pillow are 20 inches wide and 30 inches long. A king-sized pillow is 20 inches wide and 36 inches long, and requires a king-sized pillowcase.
A king sham is 36 by 20 inches and usually is used for both queen and king pillows. A Euro shame -- or European pillow sham -- fits the large square 26-by-26-inch pillows used for decoration and as extra support while reading in bed. Most shams open in the back, not on one side like a regular bed-pillow cover. The front is the fancy part if the sham is very decorative, and the back is plainer, with an overlapped open slit in the middle into which you slip the pillow.
