Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cochlear implant bypasses the eardrum and outer ear by using a microphone to directly pick up sound and transmit it to the implanted electrodes in the cochlea. It does not bypass the cochlea itself, as that is where the electrodes are placed to stimulate the auditory nerve. Therefore, choices A) and C) are incorrect, and choice D) is not directly bypassed by the cochlear implant.
