Wow, I always thought of cochlear implants as being akin to hearing aids. I feel so dumb in hindsight 😭 and I now see why there’s so much interest in cochlear implants in the world of auditory perception! Thank you for this video!!
This is so interesting! I hadn't really thought about it before, but when I saw the title of your video, I thought, "yeah, how DO those work???" Clear and concise! Well done!
Shit's crazy! I hope to be listening to music til the day I die and it's nice knowing there are potential fixes even if something catastrophic happens.
Awesome videos! I have a lot of questions though. Does it need to be charged regularly? Any resource which shows how the electrical impulse is made suitable for the vestibulocochlear nerve to transmit? Like what do the currents vary on? Frequency? Voltage? Amps? How is it attached to the vestibulocochlear nerve? Is it stimulating a specific region of the nerve? Or just conducting it regardless of the current's origin or the site in the nerve's crosssection where the stimulation occurs?
I think there are different options for batteries; often people use rechargeable batteries and recharge them at night. I included a couple references in the video description. This one might help to answer your other questions: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782849/
I had surgery earlier this year to get a cochlear implant and everything works as it should. I can make phone calls just fine. Music is still a challenge since the processor isn't programmed specifically for music since they're programmed for speech. Anything else after speech is an added benefit.

Great information

im a neuroscience student. i love this channel so much!!!! thank you for making amazing videos❤
Interesting video. Currently reading your new book I love it. Keep up the good work 🙂
Exactly what I wanted to understand

my brother lost his hearing because of hydrocephalus is there any new solutions for this ?
Cool
Hmmmmm ..... what's the average cost for an implant
$75k out of pocket. I paid $1,250 in co-pay and deductibles
$75k estimated out of pocket. With insurance, I ended up paying $1,250 in copays and deductibles
@@justiningram1544were you able to hear in that ear?
