How a cochlear implant works steps overview
Sound waves are captured by two microphones and sent to the speech processor. The processor codes the signal and sends it to the coil. The signal passes through the skin to the implant which decodes it. The electrode array stimulates the auditory nerve, which sends impulses to the brain.
Detecting hearing loss in children early helps treatment
In Houston Dianne Foutch of the Center for Hearing and Speech urges parents to test children for hearing loss if family history prematurity infections or unusual facial features exist or if a child does not respond to sounds.
