A cochlear implant electrode.
This study has shown that an electrode array can be passed along the hold length of the cochlea if it is inserted through and opening in the scala tympani of the apical turn. The electrode must have the appropriate mechanical properties and some of these were stiffness and extensibility. The electrode and operative approach should be helpful in stimulating the terminal auditory nerve fibres on ...
متن کاملElectrode interaction in cochlear implant recipients: comparison of straight and contour electrode arrays.
The degree of overlap among cochlear nerve fibers stimulated by different electrodes results in electrode interaction, which has been shown to have a significantly deleterious effect on speech recognition performance in multi-electrode cochlear implant users. The Nucleus CI24R(CS) Contour array, which lies substantially closer to the modiolus than the CI24M straight array, is expected to exhibi...
متن کاملAn In-Vitro Insertion-Force Study of Magnetically Guided Lateral-Wall Cochlear-Implant Electrode Arrays
HYPOTHESIS Insertion forces can be reduced by magnetically guiding the tip of lateral-wall cochlear-implant electrode arrays during insertion via both cochleostomy and the round window. BACKGROUND Steerable electrode arrays have the potential to minimize intracochlear trauma by reducing the severity of contact between the electrode-array tip and the cochlear wall. However, steerable electrode...
متن کاملLocalization of cochlear implant electrodes in radiographs.
Multielectrode cochlear implantation is the most effective treatment for profound sensorineural hearing loss. In vivo three-dimensional 3-D localization of cochlear implant electrodes is important for modeling of the electrical field in the cochlea, design of electrode arrays, and may improve speech processor programming for better speech recognition. The prerequisite for 3-D localization of th...
متن کاملMicrominiature molding techniques for cochlear electrode arrays.
We provide a general method for producing a variety of small, complex electrode arrays based on injection molds produced using computer-aided drafting and machining (CAD-CAM) procedures and a novel method for connecting to the very fine electrical leads associated with the individual contacts of such arrays. Cat-sized cochlear electrode arrays with up to eight contacts were built according to t...
