Les implants cochléaires sont des prothèses auditives insérées par chirurgie dans l'oreille interne, au niveau de la cochlée. Ces implants sont munis d'électrodes sophistiquées qui fonctionnent en transformant les vibrations sonores en stimulations électriques qui peuvent être captées par le nerf auditif, permettant alors aux personnes avec une surdité neurosensorielle de récupérer des capacités auditives [...] 2, record 1, French, - implant%20cochl%C3%A9aire
