An electrical device that helps hearing is a cochlear implant. It may be a possibility for those who are unable to hear effectively with hearing aids due to severe hearing loss brought on by inner-ear damage. A cochlear implant bypasses damaged areas of the ear to send sound impulses to the hearing (auditory) nerve, as contrast to hearing aids which amplify sound. A behind-the-ear sound processor is used with cochlear implants. The receiver is implanted behind the ear and receives sound signals from the processor by sending them to the receiver. The impulses are sent from the receiver to electrodes inserted in the inner ear's snail-shaped structure (cochlea). An electrical device that helps hearing is a cochlear implant.

A Cochlear Implant is an electronic device that provides direct electrical stimulation to the inner ear, bypassing damaged hair cells. It helps restore hearing for people with severe hearing loss or deafness.
Germany's healthcare system covers Cochlear Implants partially. Waiting time can be up to 2 years.
