What is a Cochlear Hearing Implant?

A cochlear implant is a prosthetic device that is surgically implanted into the inner ear part of the auditory system. This surgery is performed by an Otologist. Near Toronto, The Hospital for Sick Children and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre are the two primary hospitals where cochlear implants are performed on children and adults.
