How Cochlear Implants Work

Cochlear implants are different than hearing aids. While hearing aids help many people, they simply amplify sounds. When a crucial part of your inner ear isn’t working properly, you may notice you have trouble understanding sounds, such as birds singing and conversations, especially in noisy situations. As hearing loss progresses, sounds need to not only be made louder, they need to be made clearer. Cochlear implants can give you that clarity.

Cochlear implants are an established and effective treatment solution for moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. The Cochlear Nucleus System mimics the natural hearing function of the inner ear to make sounds louder and clearer. A cochlear implant bypasses the damaged part of the ear so sounds are better understood in both noisy and quiet environments, enabling you to hear everything from conversations in noisy restaurants to leaves rustling in the wind.
