Cochlear device implantation, with or without mastoidectomy
AI EXPLANATION: Cochlear device implantation is a surgical procedure that places an electronic device to help restore a sense of sound to individuals with severe hearing loss. A surgeon positions an internal receiver and an array of tiny electrodes inside the inner ear, sometimes opening a portion of the bone behind the ear to secure the components. The implant works by sending sound signals directly to the auditory nerve.
