Cochlear implant (CI) is a neural prosthetic device used to provide the sensation of sound to those who are profoundly deaf by delivering electrical stimulus to auditory nerve directly . It is becoming one of the main research frontiers in the area of otology and rehabilitation engineering . This symposium proposes an introduction about the new achievements of cochlear implant research , which consists of the following parts: the structure of CI, new speech processing strategies, comparison of the clinical results of speech processing strategies and the hotspots of the research.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003054	Cochlear Implants	Electronic hearing devices typically used for patients with normal outer and middle ear function, but defective inner ear function. In the COCHLEA, the hair cells (HAIR CELLS, VESTIBULAR) may be absent or damaged but there are residual nerve fibers. The device electrically stimulates the COCHLEAR NERVE to create sound sensation.
