guidelines All News Consumer Pharma New Drugs Pipeline Clinical Trials FDA Alerts More Health Tip: How a Cochlear Implant Works Print this page -- A cochlear implant is a small, electronic device that when surgically placed under the skin, stimulates the nerve endings in the cochlea to provide a sense of sound to a person who is severely hard of hearing. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves of the use of cochlear implants in people aged 1 year and older. The FDA explains how a cochlear implant works: A surgeon places the implant under the skin next to the ear. The implant receives sound from the outside environment, processes it, and sends small electric currents near the auditory nerve. These currents activate the nerve, which then sends a signal to the brain. The brain learns to recognize this signal and the wearer experiences this as "hearing." 2017 HealthDay. All rights reserved.
