Nucleus cochlear implant

The Nucleus cochlear implant is a medical device that helps individuals with severe hearing loss or deafness to hear sounds. It works by bypassing damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea) and directly stimulating the auditory nerve with electrical signals. The device consists of an external processor that captures sounds and converts them into electrical signals, and an internal electrode array implanted in the cochlea that relays these signals to the brain. This technology allows users to perceive sound, understand speech, and improve communication, enhancing their overall quality of life.
