2. Cochlear implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_implant

   A cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted neuroprosthesis that provides a person who has moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss with sound perception. With the help of therapy, cochlear implants may allow for improved speech understanding in both quiet and noisy environments.

3. Electric acoustic stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_acoustic_stimulation

   Electric stimulation of the auditory system via cochlear implant is a commonly used technique for individuals with a severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, as well as for those adults and children with some residual hearing. Individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss can usually benefit from hearing aids. This acoustic stimulation ...

   The internal implant sends the signals to the electrode array. The design of the electrode array is the key difference between a cochlear implant and an ABI. Whereas the electrode array for a CI is wire-shaped and is inserted into the cochlea, the electrode array of an ABI is paddle-shaped and is placed on the cochlear nucleus of the brainstem. [3]

6. Sensorineural hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensorineural_hearing_loss

   A cochlear implant is surgical implantation of a battery powered electronic medical device in the inner ear. Unlike hearing aids , which make sounds louder, cochlear implants do the work of damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea) to provide sound signals to the brain.

   The first known cochlear implant was created in 1957. Other milestones include the first motor prosthesis for foot drop in hemiplegia in 1961, the first auditory brainstem implant in 1977 and a peripheral nerve bridge implanted into the spinal cord of an adult rat in 1981.
