What is a cochlear implant and how it works

What is a cochlear implant and how it works

A cochlear implant system consists of a sound processor (1) and a small implant (2&3) which is implanted by an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeon. Together, they are designed to pick up sounds from the environment and transmit them directly to the hearing nerve (4), helping to restore sound clarity even in noisy environments.3

If your hearing aids are not giving you clear hearing then a cochlear implant may help you hear again.

Frequently asked questions

We hope the following contains some of the answers you need to take the next step. Connect with an expert for answers to any questions not listed here.
Cochlear implants use electrical impulses to transmit sound to the inner ear and on to the hearing nerve. These electrical impulses are then interpreted by the brain as sound.
Hearing aids work by amplifying sound, which makes them an ideal solution for mild to moderate hearing loss. However, for severe to profound hearing loss, hearing aids might not be enough. In this case a cochlear implant might be the best option. Cochlear implants bypass the inner ear to directly stimulate the hearing nerve to provide clarity of sound and speech to help understand what is being said.5
Government programs, insurance, and donation programs may provide funding for cochlear implants. Request a call back from us to find out about your options.
Cochlear implants have been commonly called ear machines. Cochlear implants may be suitable for children with severe to profound hearing loss, in one or both ears.
