Abstract
Within a muted city, wherein the traffic roars are unheard and the bustling crowds are silent, a burst of sound suddenly comes alive - all thanks to a tiny device nestled behind the ear: the cochlear implant (CI). CIs have revolutionized auditory communication for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. Designed to bypass certain damaged or impaired structures in the ear, these devices showcase the brain’s capacity for adaptation through the interplay between technology and neuroplasticity. However, to understand how CIs function, the structures and processes involved in audition must be recognized first.
