FAQ series, part 4/5: What Is Cochlear Implant Surgery? Is It Brain Surgery?
No. Cochlear implant surgery is not brain surgery. It’s surgery in the inner ear, or the cochlea. A cochlear implant system has two parts, the internal device and the sound processor. The internal device, the cochlear implant itself, contains the electrodes that the surgeon places in the cochlea during surgery. The sound processor is worn externally, and it will be activated a few weeks after your surgery.
