How does the cochlear implant assist people with severe hearing loss? A - HSC - SSCE Biology - Question 6 - 2019 - Paper 1

The cochlear implant works by bypassing damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulating the auditory nerve. It converts sound signals into electrical impulses, which are then sent to the auditory nerve. This allows people with severe hearing loss to perceive sounds in their environment, effectively providing them with the ability to hear.
