Question

1. list two limitations of the cochlear implant. (2pts) 1) cant hear certain sounds - hearing isnt 100% 2) hardware can be hard to wear all the time: cant get wet.

Explanation:

Cochlear implants are medical devices. One limitation is that they do not restore normal hearing. The sound quality is different from natural hearing, and some complex sounds may be difficult to perceive accurately. Another limitation is related to the external hardware. The external components (like the microphone and speech processor) need to be worn, and they are not waterproof in many cases. This can restrict activities such as swimming or taking a shower without special precautions.

Answer:

1. Sound quality is not like natural hearing; some sounds may be hard to perceive.
2. External hardware (e.g., speech processor) is not waterproof (in many cases), restricting certain activities.
