Document Summary
Cochlear implant sometimes also known as a bionic ear, helps the people who have lost hearing capability significantly. It offers them the hope to regain or restore the ability to hear. A cochlear implant solves the problems of the cochlea. Cochlear implants despite not being miraculous device but can provide significant help to people who are born deaf or have lost their hearing in their life at a later stage. Cochlear implant completely bypasses the damaged pat of the cochlea completely and stimulates the auditory nerve using its own electric signals. However, cochlear implant can be good even for the children.
