Insertion study using new peri-modiolar electrode array designs [Abstract]

Year: 1999

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Intracochlear multi-channel cochlear implants have been shown to successfully provide auditory information for profoundly deaf patients by electrically stimulating discrete populations of auditory nerve fibers via a scala tympani (ST) electrode array. Histological and radiological examination of implanted human temporal bones showed that the current straight Nucleus® array is usually positioned against the outer wall of the ST. An electrode array close to the modiolus could be expected to reduce stimulation thresholds and result in a more localized neural excitation pattern.
