@lemmy.sdf.orgYeah, instead of using polls to verify things, we should just go on our hunches for everything. Measuring things? Science? Pshaw I say, pshaw!
Do you mean BAHA (bone anchored hearing aids). In this ,you still rely on amplification by means of a piece that's anchored either magnetically or surgically to your skull.
Cochlear implants function completely differently in that there's effectively a new pathway to the cochlea (it bypasses the damaged parts and goes straight to the inner ear structure). You have to learn how to hear in this new way.
