Hearing with a cochlear implant system, just like with normal hearing, starts with first capturing sound from the environment. Instead of the normal ear collecting and delivering these sound waves, a microphone captures and delivers them to the sound processor, where they’re converted electronically into detailed digital information. The sound-capturing ability of the microphone is an important part of hearing well with cochlear implants. Microphones positioned to effectively capture the full range of sound provide you or your child with the opportunity to have the best possible hearing experience.
