Answers:
a cochlear implant is a electronic device that is implanted in the back of the head..it is use to stimulate the auditory nerves..it is turned on by a remote to stimulate the cochlea to recieve sounds.

Cochlear implants are very expensive and can cost about 30,000 for both ears. I know a couple people that have cochlear implants and sometimes for profound deaf it might not work...i know a girl at school that has a cochlear implant and it barely helps...but getting them at a young age can also be a helpful too along with learning sign language..if you have any more questions feel free to askHealth Question & Answer
