Highly useful hearing, including speech reception without any visual cues, can be reinstated or produced for the first time with a cochlear implant—a device that bypasses damaged or missing sensory hair cells in the cochleas of deaf or severely hearing-impaired persons using direct electrical activation of remaining auditory neurons. As such, it is the first substantial restoration of a human sense using a medical intervention, and is a triumph of otology, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering among other fields. This chapter describes how the implant works and possibilities for future improvements.
