What are Cochlear Implants (CIs)?

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) defines cochlear implants (CI) as small, complex electronic devices that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing.

The organization explains that such an implant consists of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed under the skin. Below are the parts that make up a cochlear implant:
 

 

  • An electrode array, which is a group of electrodes that collects the impulses from the stimulator and sends them to different regions of the auditory nerve.

    The organization points out that an implant does not restore normal hearing. It can, however, give a deaf person a useful representation of sounds in the environment and help him or her to understand speech.
