Bionic ears, also known as cochlear implants, are electronic devices that provide a sense of sound to individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. These devices consist of an external component worn behind the ear and an internal component surgically implanted in the cochlea. Cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the ear and stimulate the auditory nerve directly.
