Cochlear implants are electronic devices that reduce hearing loss. They don’t restore hearing. Instead, they improve your ability to understand speech and hear more sounds. Most people who receive cochlear implants benefit by having audiologic therapy that helps them relearn how to hear.
What are the types of cochlear implants?
Cochlear implant types differ depending on the location of the external sound processor. External sound processors are one of the pieces of equipment used in cochlear implants. The processor may be:
Behind your ear
Attached to your clothes.
On your scalp.
