Read the information about cochlear implants from the US Food and Drug Administration website. "A cochlear implant is quite different from a typical hearing aid, which simply amplifies sound,” says Nandkumar. "Using one is not just a matter of turning up the volume; the nerves are being electrically stimulated to send signals and the brain translates and does the rest of the work.” Moreover, cochlear implant wearers need to undergo intensive speech therapy to understand how to process what they are hearing."Cochlear implants don’t restore normal hearing,” says Nandkumar. "But depending on the individual, they can help the wearer recognize words and better understand speech, including when using a telephone.”

A
According to Dr. Srinivas Nandkumar, a cochlear implant, which is different from a typical hearing aid, does not allow a person who is hard of hearing or deaf to hear as well as a person without any hearing loss.
B
A cochlear implant is a device that stimulates the nerves to send messages to the brain, allowing a hard-of-hearing person to hear sound. The wearer would need to attend speech therapy to help interpret what they can now hear.
C
A traditional hearing aid works by increasing the volume of sounds around the wearer. In contrast, a cochlear implant triggers a person's nerves to send messages to the brain, which the brain then processes into hearing.
D
A cochlear implant is an option available for people who want to increase their ability to hear conversations. It works by helping the nerves send messages to the brain, allowing the wearer to hear words more clearly.
