There are times when no hearing instrument is enough. We at Audiphone of Akron realize this and are committed to providing you with the best hearing options. By partnering with Cochlear Corporation of America, we can assist you in finding the right solution for you.
What are Cochlear Implants?
Deep in your ear is a remarkable pea-sized structure called the cochlea. The cochlea is fully developed at birth. Tiny, delicate hair cells in the cochlea communicate sound signals to your brain, allowing you to hear different pitches and sounds. If these delicate cells are damaged, you can lose some or all of your ability to hear.
Cochlear implants are designed to compensate for the damaged cells, helping to restore your ability to perceive and understand sounds. A cochlear implant works by bypassing the damaged part of the ear and sending sound signals directly to the hearing nerve.
