This innovative device converts sound waves into electrical signals that directly stimulate the auditory nerve, allowing the brain to interpret sounds. Its impact is profound, especially in childhood, as it facilitates language development, learning, and social integration,” explained Dr. Guzm\u00e1n Liriano.\n\n\n
