Answer:

The biggest difference is that Hearing aids are worn and Cochlear implants are implanted into a person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hearing aids amplify sounds so they may be detected by damaged ears. Cochlear implants bypass damaged portions of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve.
