Cochlear implants are the first example of a neural prosthesis that can substitute a sensory organ: they bypass the malfunctioning auditory periphery of profoundly-deaf people to electrically stimulate their auditory nerve. The history of cochlear implants dates back to 1957, when Djourno and Eyriès managed, for the first time, to elicit sound ...

Biomaterials in cochlear implants [PDF]
The cochlear implant (CI) represents, for almost 25 years now, the gold standard in the treatment of children born deaf and for postlingually deafened adults. These devices thus constitute the greatest success story in the field of ‘neurobionic’ prostheses.

Cochlear Implantation in Neurobrucellosis
Neurobrucellosis is a disease consisting of a wide spectrum of complications such as peripheral neuropathy, cranial nerve involvement, ataxia, meningeal irritation, paraplegia, seizures, coma, and even death. The vestibulocochlear nerve seems to be the most commonly affected cranial nerve (10%). We present a patient with neurobrucellosis whose auditory

Cochlear implant histopathology [PDF]
The microscopic examination of fifty‐five serially sectioned implanted temporal bones has provided insight into what is being stimulated; and the changes that are the result of the insertion and presence of the implant. The ganglion cell bodies (neurons) are structures being stimulated (two laboratories have reported an inverse relationship of the ...

Outcome of cochlear implantation in children with cochlear implantation [PDF]
Sig. (2-tailed), Exact Sig. (1-tailed)]. the above results, in agreement with Bille et al. study, indicated that children with inner ear malformation over time perform equally to children without inner ear malformation, but at a slower rate of improvement; this is in accordance with Eisenman et al.’s [3] observation that children with malformed cochlea

Cochlear Implantation: An Overview [PDF]
AbstractA cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted device for the treatment of severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in children and adults. It works by transducing acoustic energy into an electrical signal, which is used to stimulate surviving spiral ganglion cells of the auditory nerve.
