Sensory Organ Replacement and Repair - Gerald E. Miller









ABSTRACT

The senses of human hearing and sight are often taken for granted by many individuals until

they are lost or adversely affected. Millions of individuals suffer from partial or total hearing loss

and millions of others have impaired vision. The technologies associated with augmenting these

two human senses range from simple hearing aids to complex cochlear implants, and from (now

commonplace) intraocular lenses to complex artificial corneas. The areas of human hearing and

human sight will be described in detail with the associated array of technologies also described.
