Hearing Aid vs. Cochlear Implant: What's the Difference? 🎧🦻

A hearing aid is a tiny loudspeaker that amplifies sound, helping those with moderate to severe hearing loss who still have some residual hearing.

A cochlear implant, on the other hand, is a neuroprosthetic device designed for people with profound hearing loss (almost no natural hearing). Instead of amplifying sound, it directly stimulates the cochlear nerve, bypassing the damaged ear and sending signals straight to the brain.
