   In cases of profound or total deafness, a cochlear implant is a specialised device that may restore a functional level of hearing. SNHL is at least partially preventable by avoiding environmental noise, ototoxic chemicals and drugs, and head trauma, and treating or inoculating against certain triggering diseases and conditions like meningitis.

   In most routine cochlear implant surgeries, any residual hearing will likely be destroyed. The residual hearing preservation rate in cochlear implantation is influenced surgical factors. The residual median hearing preservation for children was identified to be better when perimodiolar electrodes were inserted with AOS through fenestral ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   The electrical stimulation is used in a cochlear implant to provide functional hearing in totally deafened persons. Cochlear implants include several subsystem components from the external speech processor and radio frequency (RF) transmission link to the internal receiver, stimulator, and electrode arrays. Modern cochlear implant research ...
