Cochlear Implant

3D Model

The scene shows the internal and external parts of a cochlear implant. The external device is labelled, but due to limits on annotations, the internal device could not be labelled. It consists of an internal magnet, which aligns with the external magnet. That allows the internal antenna or coil to align with the external one, so that signals can be transmitter to the receiver/stimulator, which then transmits electric signals to the electrode array in the cochlea. So, sounds are concerted to electric signals, which then stimulate the cochlear nerve, allowing one to hear.
