Journal ArticleDOI
Cochlear Implants: System Design, Integration, and Evaluation
TL;DR: Issues beyond cochlear implants are discussed to address treatment options for the entire spectrum of hearing impairment as well as to use the co chlear implant as a model to design and evaluate other similar neural prostheses such as vestibular and retinal implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic intracochlear electrical stimulation induces selective survival of spiral ganglion neurons in neonatally deafened cats.
TL;DR: Results indicate that administration of neomycin in neonatal cats induced degeneration of hair cells and spiral ganglion cell loss that was bilaterally symmetrical between the two cochleas of each individual animal, although there was variation between animals in the severity of the ototoxic drug effect.
PatentDOI
Intracochlear electrode array
TL;DR: An electrode array for implantation in a human cochlea includes a spiral-shaped resilient carrier, which generally conforms to the shape of the scala tympani of the cochlesa as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic intracochlear electrical stimulation in the neonatally deafened cat. I: Expansion of central representation.
TL;DR: Electrical stimulation of the intracochlear bipolar electrode consistently produces activation of a reproducibly limited sector of the inferior colliculus of the ICC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considerations for design of future cochlear implant electrode arrays: electrode array stiffness, size, and depth of insertion.

TL;DR: It is found that the size and shape of the array directly affect the incidence of observed trauma and arrays with greater stiffness in the plane perpendicular to the plane of the cochlear spiral are less likely to cause severe trauma than arrays with similar vertical and horizontal stiffness.
