Cochlear implant/auditory brainstem implant external coil

Definition

An external component of a cochlear implant (CI) or auditory brainstem implant system designed to transmit the electrical signals generated by the sound processor to the implantable receiver-stimulator and electrode array assembly (none included) of the hearing implant for the partial restoration of auditory sensation in a severely/profoundly deaf person. It is typically a round-shaped device with a magnet in its centre to magnetically couple with the implantable receiver-stimulator.
