The statement "A cochlear implant won't replace normal hearing; it will improve sound perception." is correct. Cochlear implants do not restore normal hearing, but they can help improve sound perception in individuals with severe or profound hearing loss. Option B is not entirely accurate, as although cochlear implants are not visible externally, they do require an implanted device and an external speech processor. Option C may or may not be accurate depending on the individual's specific circumstances, and option D is incorrect as cochlear implants require regular battery replacements.
