sound and then sends it into the ear where this sound is processed by the ear. The difference between a hearing aid and a cochlear implant is that the hearing aid transfers the vibrations of the amplified sound and requires the hair cells in the cochlea to translate the sound to an electrical signal that can be picked up by the auditory nerve while a cochlear implant takes sound and converts it to an electrical signal for transfer to the auditory nerve. There are two types of hearing aids‚ analog

Mrs. Bates English 112 5 March 2013 Cochlear Implants When most are born‚ they have five senses. Touching‚ tasting‚ feeling‚ smelling‚ and hearing.

Also‚ what if the said person could somehow get their hearing back‚ would they jump at the chance? That’s where cochlear implants come into play. Until the late

Robots maybe‚ would we ever think about Brain Chips being implanted into human brains? Sure‚ but how will Brain Chips plays a major role medically in are world’s future? In are near future‚ while we sleep they will transmit data directly from are brain to the computer and not miss a wink of sleep. Computer Interface is only the tip of the iceberg.

ear. Once the sound waves reach inner ear‚ they travel through the cochlea towards the organ of corti. Further the signals on the hair cells on the organ of corti follows to the brain stem. Now‚ the signal travel to mesephelon and then into the auditory cortex. Tinnitus can be classified into two types: Objective and Subjective. Objective sound or somatosound is developed through an internal acoustic source activating the cochlea by air or bone conduction.

mechanism. This fluid-filled‚ snail-shaped cochlea purpose is to translate incoming sound waves into electrical signals so that the brain can understand its surroundings. The cochlea which is a Latin word for snailed-shell is a coiled‚ tapered tube containing the auditory branch of the inner ear. Its core component is the Organ of Corti‚ that is a cellular layer sitting on top of the basilar membrane for the sensory organ of hearing. The tube of the cochlea is divided into three chambers (upper‚ middle

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) audiometry is an evoked potential test of auditory brainstem function‚ using brief click or tone pip stimuli in order to generate a response. These stimuli are transmitted from an acoustic transducer (an insert earphone or headphone) (Bhattacharyya‚ 2015). The waveform response produced is measured by surface electrodes‚ which are usually placed on the mastoid process behind the outer ear and the vertex (top of the head). A ground electrode is placed on the opposite
