New Technology Could Help the Deaf
Scientists at MIT and Harvard say they’ve developed a new, low-power microchip that could take the place of a traditional Cochlear implant.
The Cochlear implants give limited hearing to people who might otherwise by deaf, but patients have bulky hardware around the outside of their ears, including a transmitter, wire and microphone.
Scientists say the new microchip needs nothing external… and patients can power their implant wirelessly with an adapter and a cell phone charger.
