Captioning sponsored by Rose Communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. What happened . What happened . Hi, jade i, jade is that mom youre hearing . Yes what happened . Mama right. I understand uhhuh it opened up. Rose helen keller once said blindness separates us from thing but deafness separates us from people. Hearing loss affects 48 million americans. That is 15 of the population. Most of those cases are currently untreated. In recent years there have been break throughs in the treatment of hearing loss. Ingeborg hochmair helped Pioneer Development of the cochlear implant. The device stimulates the main auditor nerve that sends message to the brain to signal hearing. She recently received an award for her work and she joins me along with one of her patients, max. Max received the implant at the age of two. He is now 19 years old and about to begin college. Also joining me, a distinguished group of scientists, david corey of harvard university, frank lin

The third idea is a bit difficult, and this is to understand that each sound is actually made up of a lot of different sounds, a lot of different tones that happen simultaneously and for the brain to understand a sound it has to break the sound into its different parts and then those different channels of information have to go to the brain separately. Rose and when something goes wrong, what happens . When something goes wrong and we might return to this of things that happen and really we should return to it later. And maybe i should continue. Rose okay, continue, you have some slides. And let me show you quickly where this happens in the head. So the outer here carries the sound into the eardrum and then its carried through the middle ear to finally reach the inner ear where the cochlea is. The cochlea is the organ that does this conversion to a neural signal and then the auditory nerve carries that signal to the brain. Here you can see sound waves being collected by the external ea
