Bionic ear

A bionic ear, also known as a cochlear implant, is a device that helps people with severe hearing loss or deafness. Unlike hearing aids that amplify sound, a bionic ear directly stimulates the auditory nerve with electrical signals. It consists of an external microphone that captures sound and a processor that translates it into signals, which are then sent to an implanted part in the inner ear. This technology allows many individuals to perceive sound, improving their ability to communicate and enjoy auditory experiences. Bionic ears can significantly enhance the quality of life for those affected by hearing loss.
