How a CI works

From sound to the brain

  1. 1. Microphones on the sound processor capture sound waves from the environment.
  2. 2. The processor converts sound into a precise digital signal.
  3. 3. The magnetic headpiece transmits the signal through the skin to the implant.
  4. 4. The implant directs the electrode array to stimulate the hearing nerve.
  5. 5. The hearing nerve sends impulses to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.
