I don't have a ci (so any ci'er correct me if i am wrong) but it's not really robotic but bionic "The cochlear implant is often referred to as a bionic ear" "...works by directly stimulating any functioning auditory nerves inside the cochlea with electrical impulses"
I think it is called bionic because people are being able to hear who haven't heard hardly anything at all or next to nothing these are people who 40-50 years ago even 20 years ago when ci's were not popular yet had to live with their deafness. Now some people don't mind living with deafness and some do. Cochlear Implant surgery is able to bypass wat was not possible before. The ci is a sort of mechanical thing in your head that let's you hear even tho your deaf! wat i said may be confusing..but that's my take on it...lol
