Cochlear Implant Information<\/span><\/p>\n

A cochlear implant is intended to help those who suffer from hearing loss or hearing damage. The implant is surgically inserted under the skin behind the ear<\/b> and connected to the auditory nerve, which transmits sound signals to the brain. However, the implant does not function like a hearing aid, which merely amplifies sound (or allows it to be reduced in volume). Instead, the sound processer receives sound signals and the brain interprets them; they are not exact sounds that are being received, and as a result, individuals must work to understand what they are. Those who receive cochlear implants may have suffered trauma to the ear that caused them to lose hearing, or they may have been born with a hearing defect. Often, those who had no hearing trouble prior to an accident or condition report an easier time understanding<\/a> the sounds and interpreting them. Many individuals of all ages have had the implants placed in their heads, but there were periods of time where recalls seemingly happened every month. If you were negatively affected by a cochlear implant defect, call our firm at (855) 339-8879<\/a> for help filing a lawsuit against the liable company.<\/p>\n

In an electronic device that is so close to the brain, moisture can be devastating; it can cause a short circuit or it can cause nerve damage. There was one such recall that happened over the course of a year and a half. Advanced Bionics essentially allowed its product to be implanted into patients and faced the same problems for months. The timeline was as follows:<\/p>\n
