Cochlear Implantation
How does it work
bypass damaged portions of the ear directly stimulate the auditory nerve, these are sent the brain and recognized as sound
the electrodes are surgically implanted into the cochlear, yuor cochlear is part of your inner ear that converts soundwaves into electricla signal whcih travels to your brain through auditary nerves
-
-
electrodes are implanted so it can stimulate parts of the cochlea takes sound and passes it on to the processoer whcih crunches sound data and interprates it into about 2 dozen channels, each corresponding to a different frequancy of sound
for each channel there is an electrode in the array that zaps a certain spot in the cochlear, what you hear is what your brain interprets from the combination of signals, not the same as what the mic picked up, 1000s of hair cells can pick up a whole rand of frequencies
What is it?
A cochlear implant is a small, complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person
The implant consists of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed under the skin
