π Happy International Cochlear Implant Day β 25 February 2025 π
Today we celebrate the life-changing technology of cochlear implants and the incredible individuals who use them to connect with the world of sound. π
A cochlear implant is a medical device designed for people with severe to profound hearing loss who receive limited benefit from hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sound, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the hearing nerve β allowing the brain to interpret sound signals.
