Experiments with a thinfilm multichannel electrode for cochlear implantation. 1983

O Lauridsen, and C Günthersen, and P Bonding, and M Tos

A series of experiments with a thinfilm multichannel cochlear implant is presented. A number of surgical difficulties at implantation on temporal bones were experienced. In vitro measurements of the electrode's technical properties revealed 1) large variations in the impedance, and 2) good separation between channels. From a theoretical point of view this complicated type of electrode is interesting, but a number of modifications are necessary before it may be used for implantation in man.

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.

D004423 Ear The hearing and equilibrium system of the body. It consists of three parts: the EXTERNAL EAR, the MIDDLE EAR, and the INNER EAR. Sound waves are transmitted through this organ where vibration is transduced to nerve signals that pass through the ACOUSTIC NERVE to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that maintains equilibrium by transducing signals to the VESTIBULAR NERVE.
