Cochlear implant

Cochlear implant (cochlear implant system), also known as cochlear implant, electronic cochlea. Cochlear implant is an electronic device that replaces the function of the human ear. It can help adults and children with severe and severe deafness to recover or provide a sense of hearing. The patients with severe and severe deafness here refer to those who have a hearing threshold above 90 decibels (dBHL) above the binaural hearing level and are ineffective in wearing high-power hearing aids. Cochlear implant technology began in the 1950s. After decades of development, especially with the emergence of high-tech such as biomedical engineering, it has entered clinical application from experimental research and has become the only effective treatment method for restoring hearing in patients with deafness. According to statistics, more than 50,000 deaf patients worldwide now use cochlear implants.
