Cochlear implants are normally worn for the rest of one’s life.
Cochlear implant is a special electronic device, which is divided into two parts: external and internal. Through the external speech signal processor, the external sound can be transformed into a certain form of signal, and after implanted in the body, it can re-improve or restore the patient’s hearing function, and the patient can basically return to live like a normal person, and generally need to wear the cochlear implant for the rest of their life.
If the cochlear implant is damaged or needs to be replaced, the patient needs to go to the hospital to re-implant the cochlear implant through surgery.
Specifically, you can go to the regular hospital for specialized consultation. Patients should pay attention to the care of the cochlear implant, avoiding water to prevent damage to the device.
