Cochlear Implants
How a Cochlear Implant Works, Source: Cochlear Ltd
While hearing aids can be helpful for most individuals, there are some who find limited benefits from acoustic amplification. The cochlear implant is an established treatment for severe to profound hearing loss as it bypasses the damaged structures of the inner ear and directly stimulates the auditory nerve.
