Cochlear implant: simulation on speech and music

The cochlear implant (MedlinePlus, 2014) is an electronic device that allows people who have lost their hearing (Fitness Life Style Health Club, 2014) to recover part of it. This is implanted surgically, part goes inside the temporal bone (the one that surrounds the ear), another part is the stimulator-receiver that is the one that captures, decodes and sends the electrical signal to the brain.

If you ask how you hear through a cochlear implant, here are some examples and a summary of how it works.
