Types of Hearing Loss
Sensorineural
damage to the inner ear (cochlea), or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain
Conductive
sound is not conducted efficiently through the outer ear canal to the eardrum and the tiny bones (ossicles) of the middle ear
Mixed
a conductive hearing loss occurs in combination with a sensorineural hearing loss

How is a Cochlear Implant Different From a Hearing Aid?
Hearing Aid Cochlear Implant
Acoustically amplify sound Convert sound into electrical signals
Rely on the responsiveness of remaining undamaged inner ear sensory cells
Bypass the inner ear sensory cells and stimulate the hearing nerve directly

Cochlear Implant Basics
or
A cochlear implant system consists of two main parts:
Internal Implant External Sound Processor

Sound Processor (1) • Captures sound from the environment • Processes sound into digital information • Transmits information across the skin
through the headpiece to the implant
Implant • Converts transmitted information into
electrical signals (2) • Delivers signals to the electrodes (3) • Stimulates the hearing nerve
Hearing Nerve • Transmits the signal which will be
perceived by the brain as sound (4)
