Cochlear implant, artwork C016 / 7683
Cochlear implant. Computer artwork of a section through the outer (left) and inner (right) ear showing a cochlear implant (top left), a prosthetic hearing device. Sound from an external microphone (behind external ear, top left) is transmitted (red lines) to an electrode (dotted curled line, right) implanted in the cochlea (pink, coiled, right) of the inner ear. The electrode transmits the sound as electrical impulses to the auditory nerve, allowing the person to hear the sounds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a cochlear implant, a remarkable prosthetic hearing device. The computer artwork depicts a cross-section view of both the outer and inner ear, with the cochlear implant prominently displayed in the top left corner. Against a pristine white background, this illustration highlights the groundbreaking technology that enables individuals with hearing disabilities to experience sound. The image beautifully captures how sound is captured by an external microphone positioned behind the external ear and transmitted through vibrant red lines to an electrode implanted within the cochlea of the inner ear. This delicate electrode then converts sound into electrical impulses, which are sent directly to the auditory nerve. Through this innovative process, people who were once deaf can now perceive sounds and regain their sense of hearing. The artwork serves as a testament to medical advancements in treating disabilities and enhancing quality of life for those affected by hearing loss. Its detailed portrayal emphasizes not only technological progress but also celebrates human resilience and adaptability. With its focus on healthcare innovation, this visually striking piece invites contemplation on our ability as humans to overcome challenges through scientific breakthroughs. It reminds us that technology has immense potential when harnessed for improving lives and empowering individuals with disabilities.
