Cochlear Implantation Top Open Access Journals

 Cochlear implant is a microelectronic device that moderately restores hearing. This can be an option for people with severe hearing loss from the inner ear, who are no longer helped by hearing aids. Unlike sound-enhancing hearing aids, a cochlear implant bypasses damaged ear sections to transmit sound signals to the (auditory) auditory nerve. Cochlear implants make use of sound processor that fits behind the ear. The processor arrests sound signals and transmit them to the receiver under the skin behind the ear. The receiver sends the signals to snail (cochlear) implants in the inner ear. The signals stimulate the aural nerve, which then directs them to the brain. The brain interprets these signals as sounds, though these sounds will not be like normal hearing.
