Role of Cochlear Implant
Hearing is one of mankind's 5 primary senses; the others being sight, smell, taste and sensation. The organs of hearing are formed during intrauterine development. A newborn baby is fully able to appreciate sound.
The ear is divided into 3 parts; the external ear (1), the middle ear (2) and the internal ear (3). The function of the external and middle ear is to locate, channel and amplify the sound that reaches the inner ear. The cochlea part of the inner ear converts the sound waves into electrical impulses which is transmitted to the brain by the cochlear nerve.
