Hearing implants are used to amplify sound in the ear.  Incoming sounds are converted to electrical currents and directed to a number of contact points on the internal wire.  This operation creates an electrical field that directly stimulates the auditory nerve, thus bypassing the defective inner ear.   Cochlear implants convert sound waves to electrical impulses and transmit them to the inner ear, providing people with the ability to hear sounds and potentially better understand speech without reading lips.   The market research study provides insight into market driving forces, assessment of market opportunities, market share analysis, and market forecasts.
