MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT:  

Cochlear Implant
Cochlear Implant is an electronic device that improves hearing in a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing.
Cochlear Implant transforms sounds into electrical signals and transmits them to auditory nerves.
Cochlear implant has 2 primary parts:
“External Speech Processor”, it processes the sounds and sends electrical signals to the implant.
“Internal Receiver” is placed behind the ear during surgery. Internal Receiver collects signals from the transmitter and sends them to auditory nerves bypassing any damaged portions of the ear. Auditory nerves carry the signals to the brain

Procedure
An incision is made behind the ear
A small depression is created in the bone.
The doctor drills through the skull to reach the cochlea of the inner ear.
Electrode array is implanted
The skin incision is stitched closed

Post procedure
Audiologist will activate and calibrate the implant a few weeks later
