Cochlear Implants Sydney (bionic ear): How it works

The Cochlear implant, or bionic ear, has been the treatment of choice for more than 20 years now, in cases where hearing aids are not providing enough amplification or clarity of sound.

The Cochlear device’s sound receiver/processor receives sounds and converts them into electrical signals. The sound receiver/processor looks like a hearing aid, sitting behind the ear. This device communicates through the skin to the Cochlear implant, which is surgically inserted into the cochlea, or inner ear. Electrical impulses, which have been coded from natural sound, are transferred through the skin to the implant, which stimulates the cochlea directly and recreates the experience of hearing for the deaf patient.

Once inserted and working, the Cochlear implant, in most cases, restores hearing to the appropriately selected patient for life. We will assess and work with you to ensure the best solution from our leading brands; Med-El, Cochlear, Advanced Bionics and Oticon Medical.
