medical device that bypasses damaged structures in the inner ear and directly stimulates auditory nerve to allow some deaf individuals to learn to hear and interpret sounds and speech.

A prosthetic device that enables a deaf person to hear sound. It consists of an internal coil with multiple electrodes that is surgically implanted in the cochlea, an external transmitter headpiece that attaches behind the ear by magnetic connection to the implant, and a processor that is either a BTE (behind the ear) model with microphone located there, or a body model worn at the belt with microphone on the headpiece. The processor and transmitter are connected by a cable. The CI does not restore natural hearing. See cochlear implants for more details.

A device that helps improve the hearing abilities of many profoundly or totally deaf people by electrically stimulating the nerve which takes hearing messages from the ear to the brain, hence by-passing the damaged parts of the ear.

An electronic device surgically implanted to stimulate nerve endings in the inner ear (cochlea) in order to receive and process sound and speech. For profoundly hearing impaired children ages two years or older.

A small complex electronic device that is surgically placed (implanted) within the inner ear to help persons with certain types of deafness to hear. The hearing nerve must be intact to be considered for a cochlear implant.

A medical, electronic device that bypasses the damaged structures in the inner ear and directly stimulates the auditory nerve. An implant does not restore or create normal hearing. Instead, under the appropriate conditions, it can give a deaf person a useful auditory understanding of the environment and help him or her understand speech. The implant is surgically placed under the skin behind the ear. An implant has four basic parts: a microphone, which picks up sound from the environment; a speech processor, which selects and arranges sounds picked up by the microphone; a transmitter and receiver/stimulator, which receives signals from the speech processor and converts them into electric impulses; and electrodes, which collect the impulses from the stimulator and send them to the brain.

An electronic prosthesis which stimulates the organ of Corti in the cochlea, thereby producing a sensation of sound in an otherwise deaf ear.

An electronic device that stimulates nerve endings in the inner ear (cochlea) in order to receive and process sounds, including speech. A microphone, a speech processor (miniature computer that changes sound waves into special coded signals), and a transmitter (coil that sends coded signals to internal parts) are worn externally A small receiver (changes coded signals into electrical pulses) and an electrode array (carries decoded electrical impulses to the hearing nerve) are surgically implanted.

Prosthetic for hearing that must be surgically implanted.

A cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted electronic device that can help provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. The cochlear implant is often referred to as a bionic ear. Unlike other kinds of hearing aids, the cochlear implant does not amplify sound, but works by directly stimulating any functioning auditory nerves inside the cochlea with electrical impulses.
