JCochlear implants are surgically placed electrical devices that receive sound and transmit the resulting electrical signals to electrodes implanted in the cochlea of the ear.
This surgery is usually performed in children who has deafness since birth and are ranged between 1-4 years of age

Cochlear implantation is an unique technique that brings hope for those patients whose hearing is severely or profoundly damaged and helps the patient regain audition. However, auditory nerve excitation mechanisms through electrical (via Cochlear implant) and acoustic stimulation (vis normal sound stimulation) are different..
Auditory nerve excitation by electrical stimulation has a narrow dynamic range, resulting in poor resolution of the intensity and frequency information of verbal stimulation through the cochlear implant. In addition, speech perception deficiency in patients with hearing defects can also affect their speech comprehension.
Thus adequate rehabilitation after Cochlear implantation is very important. Adequate and timely post-implantation hearing and speech training improves speech perception and speech intelligibility even in pre-lingual deaf children after receiving cochlear devices.

A cochlear implant is an electronic device that restores hearing.
A cochlear implant is very different from a hearing aid. Hearing aids amplify sounds so they may be detected by damaged ears. Cochlear implants bypass damaged portions of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Signals generated by the implant are sent by way of the auditory nerve to the brain, which recognizes the signals as sound. Cochlear implants are surgically placed electrical devices that receive sound and transmit the resulting electrical signals to electrodes implanted in the cochlea of the ear. The signals stimulate the cochlea, allowing patient to hear.
Children and adults
Use of a cochlear implant requires both a surgical procedure and significant therapy to learn or relearn the sense of hearing. Surgical implantations are almost always safe, although complications are a risk factor, just as with any kind of surgery. An additional consideration is learning to interpret the sounds created by an implant. This process takes time and practice. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists are frequently involved in this learning process. Prior to implantation, all of these factors need to be considered.
