According to the passage, the purpose of the electronic cochlear implant is to ----.
Patients with hearing loss not correctible by medical
therapy may benefit from hearing amplification.
Contemporary hearing aids are comparatively free of
distortion and have been miniaturized to the point
where they often may be contained entirely within the
ear canal. To optimize the benefit, a hearing aid must
be carefully selected to conform to the nature of the
hearing loss. Digitally programmable hearing aids are
now widely available and allow optimization of speech
intelligibility and improved performance in difficult
listening circumstances. Aside from hearing aids, many
assistive devices are available to improve
comprehension in individual and group settings, to help
with hearing television and radio programs, and for
telephone communication. For patients with severe to
profound sensory hearing loss, the cochlear implant
– an electronic device that is surgically implanted into
the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve – offers
socially beneficial auditory rehabilitation to most adults
with acquired deafness. New trends in cochlear
implantation include its use for patients with only partial
deafness, preserving residual hearing and allowing both
acoustic and electrical hearing in the same ear, as well
as bilateral cochlear implantation.
