What is cochlear system?
The cochlea is a portion of the inner ear that looks like a snail shell (cochlea is Greek for snail). The cochlea receives sound in the form of vibrations, which cause the stereocilia to move. The stereocilia then convert these vibrations into nerve impulses which are taken up to the brain to be interpreted.
What is a cochlear processor?
Cochlear implants use a sound processor that fits behind the ear. The processor captures sound signals and sends them to a receiver implanted under the skin behind the ear. The signals stimulate the auditory nerve, which then directs them to the brain.
Why is my cochlear not working?
What happens if my cochlear implant stops working? It is common for each component of your external device (processor, cable and headpiece) to need replacement over time. This is due to general wear and tear and is to be expected. The most common cause of faults within the sound processors is water damage.

What is the main function of cochlea?
The cochlea (auditory inner ear) transforms the sound in neural message. The function of the cochlea is to transform the vibrations of the cochlear liquids and associated structures into a neural signal.
What is cochlea and its function?
The cochlea is a hollow, spiral-shaped bone found in the inner ear that plays a key role in the sense of hearing and participates in the process of auditory transduction. Sound waves are transduced into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret as individual frequencies of sound.
What is a Baha abutment?
The Baha Connect System transmits vibrations through an abutment which connects the sound processor to the implant. When using the DermaLock™ technology, the skin is left intact round the abutment. The major benefit is the efficient transmission of vibrations, providing maximum amplification.
How long does a cochlear implant last?
How long does a cochlear implant last? Will there ever need to be a replacement? The surgically implanted device is meant to last a lifetime. However, there have been some cases in which there has been equipment failure and the device was surgically replaced.
What are the troubleshooting steps for a cochlear implant device that is not working?
Check lights/visual display on processor. Check processor settings are correct; program location, volume, sensitivity. If BW processor, use listening earphones, move cable – listen for cracking or broken sound. Inspect cable to see if it’s twisted, frayed or broken.
What do cochlear implants and hearing aids sound like?
Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants do not amplify sound. Instead, they channel sound to bypass the damaged parts of the cochlea and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. The implant generates signals that it sends to the auditory nerve, which then passes it onto the brain where they are recognized as sounds.
Is customer support specialist?
Customer support specialists provide service or product information, solutions and relevant details to customers. They are sociable individuals with a knack for providing professional and clear answers to customer’s requests. Customer support specialists provide specific information regarding the services, products or materials offered by a company.
What is cochlear hearing loss?
The cochlea is a tiny, snail-shaped structure. It is the main organ of hearing and is part of your inner ear. Cochlear Damage means that all or part of your inner ear has been hurt. Damage to the cochlea typically causes permanent hearing loss. This is called sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
