Cochlear implant surgery is the most commonly used procedure for mechanical cochlear implantation in the human ear to help patients with partial or total hearing loss . The treatment is usually done under anesthesia and is called mastectomy. The cochlea which is a part of the human ear looks like a hollow tube and is often rolled up like a snail shell. It functions as an essential component of the human ear, coordinating the nerve cells in the ear to support hearing.
