Cochlear implants are hearing restoration devices that are placed in the cochlea of the inner ear. They consist of a microphone, amplifier and transmitter that help people hear sounds and improve the quality of life for people with hearing loss.
Cochlear implants were developed in the 1970s and have become increasingly popular since then. They can help people with severe hearing loss, including deafness, and people who have lost their hearing due to injury or illness.
The implants are placed through a small incision in the skin behind the ear. The microphone and amplifier are then connected to the cochlea of the inner ear. After this, the person begins to hear sounds that were previously inaccessible to him.
However, installation of cochlear implants is a complex procedure that requires highly qualified physicians and special equipment. In addition, many people are afraid of this procedure due to possible complications.
However, cochlear implants are becoming more common and help many people improve their quality of life. They can also help improve communication between people with hearing loss and those without hearing loss.
