A cochlear implant system is a medical device designed to restore partial hearing for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. It works by converting sound into electrical signals that stimulate the cochlea, helping users perceive auditory information through direct neural stimulation.
These systems are typically regulated as complex, implantable devices, often requiring rigorous pre-market approvals and post-market surveillance. They are usually supplied as a complete kit, including both internal and external components, and are classified differently depending on jurisdiction and specific design features.
