The Clarion cochlear implant. Sound is received by a microphone, processed by a minicomputer (not shown), and the electric signals are transmitted to the implant by radio-frequency communication. After decoding of the signal, the multiple electrodes directly activate nerve cells that communicate information about sound to the brain. Image courtesy of Advanced Bionics Corp.
