A cochlear implant electrode.
This study has shown that an electrode array can be passed along the hold length of the cochlea if it is inserted through and opening in the scala tympani of the apical turn. The electrode must have the appropriate mechanical properties and some of these were stiffness and extensibility. The electrode and operative approach should be helpful in stimulating the terminal auditory nerve fibres on ...
متن کاملThe Cochlear Implant
The studies on cochlear implants have been conducted in the United States, Austria, Brasil, France, Finland, and some other countries. Up to now, this technique does not seem to have a wide spread application. Indeed it can only apply cases of deafness still presenting sufficient neural remnants to transmit the message. Moreover, the patient must be totally deaf( quasi complete loss of har cel...
متن کاملA multiple-electrode array for a cochlear implant.
A satisfactory multiple-electrode array for a cochlear implant has been developed. This can be passed around the turns of the cochlea if it is first introduced into the scala tympani through an opening in the apical turn.
متن کاملA novel perfusion-based method for cochlear implant electrode insertion.
A cochlear implant (CI) restores partial hearing to profoundly deaf individuals. CI electrodes are inserted manually in the cochlea and surgeons rely on tactile feedback from the implant to determine when to stop the insertion. This manual insertion method results in a large degree of variability in surgical outcomes and intra-cochlear trauma. Additionally, implants often span only the basal tu...
متن کاملAdvances to Electrode Pullback in Cochlear Implant Surgery
OBJECTIVE To observe the intracochlear behavior of a cochlear implant electrode insertion technique (called "pullback") in temporal bones. Study Design. Experimental. Settings. Tertiary referral center. METHOD The change of the intracochlear electrode position was investigated under various conditions of an electrode pullback (N = 54) in 9 radiologically, size-estimated temporal bones (TBs). ...
