Cochlear implants are medical devices designed to assist those with severe hearing loss. Although they share similarities, cochlear implants aren't the same as hearing aids. They're created to bypass the ear and deliver sound directly to the cochlea's auditory nerves, unlike hearing aids, which only amplify the sound someone hears. Cochlear implants are placed during a brief procedure. A typical procedure can last anywhere from two hours per ear, and the patient can return home a few hours after the procedure is complete.
