Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cochlear implants are recommended for people with severe to profound sensorineural bilateral hearing loss, as they bypass damaged hair cells in the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. They are not typically recommended for those with moderate conductive hearing impairment or severe mixed hearing impairment. While age is a factor in candidacy for cochlear implants, it is not limited to only those younger than 6 months old.
