2. Cochlear Implants

3. A cochlear implant is a
surgically implanted prosthesis
that can restore some hearing
to those with profound hearing
loss or deafness.

4. Individuals who have inner ear hearing loss,
called sensorineural, that cannot benefit
from traditional hearing aids may be a
candidate for implantation.

5. In normal hearing persons, the cochlea
serves to transmit electrical sound
signals to the hearing nerve.

6. In persons with sensorineural hearing
loss, the cochlea is damaged. If the
damage is extensive, implantation may be
warranted.

7. These implants are not hearing aids, but
similarly do not restore normal hearing. For
many, only awareness of sound will be
achieved.

8. Sound awareness can also be helpful for
safety purposes, providing awareness of
alarms, sirens, or other loud warning signals.

9. Talk to your hearing healthcare professional
today if you think you, a friend, or loved one
may be a candidate for cochlear implants.
