What is cochlear implant surgery?
A cochlear implant is a surgically placed device that helps a person with severe hearing loss hear sounds. The cochlea is a snail-shaped part of the inner ear. It turns sound vibrations into electrical signals that travel along the auditory (hearing) nerve. The brain translates these signals into recognizable sounds.
What part of brain is for hearing?
temporal lobe
Signals from the right ear travel to the auditory cortex located in the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain. Signals from the left ear travel to the right auditory cortex. The auditory cortices sort, process, interpret and file information about the sound.

You may not want to be with people as much, and when you are you may not engage in conversation as much. These factors may contribute to dementia.”
