Abstract :
Cochlear implants are an effective way to enable people with severe or profound hearing loss to be able to hear. It can help a person with profound hearing loss to function with people and places where hearing may be required. Cochlear implants are a fine solution for severe to profound hearing loss, but there are problems that may accrue, and other solutions that need to be considered before a person makes the decision to get a cochlear implant for his or herself or a loved one
