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.
