Cochlear Implant

What is the primary purpose of the SYNCHRONY 2 cochlear implant system?

• To improve vision in individuals with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss

• To provide a digital interface for mobile devices

• To restore hearing to individuals with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss

• To enhance the natural hearing in individuals without hearing loss

What are the two main components of the SYNCHRONY 2 cochlear implant system?

• The SONNET 2 audio processor and the SYNCHRONY 2 cochlear implant

• A microphone and a speaker

• The SONNET 2 audio processor and a Bluetooth transmitter

• The SYNCHRONY 2 cochlear implant and a pair of glasses

Where is the SONNET 2 audio processor worn?

• Inside the ear canal

• Comfortably behind the ear

• Around the neck

• On the wrist like a watch

How does the SYNCHRONY 2 cochlear implant system deliver sound signals to the auditory nerve?

• Using electrical pulses to stimulate specific locations of the cochlea

• By amplifying sound waves that enter the ear canal

• Through vibration of the middle ear bones

• By converting sound waves into light signals

What part of the cochlea is responsible for detecting low-pitched sounds?

• The basal region

• The apical region

• The middle ear

• The auditory canal

How does the SONNET 2 audio processor contribute to the hearing process in the SYNCHRONY 2 system?

• By increasing the volume of sounds around the user

• By detecting environmental sounds and converting them into coded electrical signals

• By physically cleaning the ear canal

• By transmitting sound waves directly to the cochlea without conversion
