Electromagnetic Compatibility of Cochlear Implant with an Aircraft Cockpit

The Cochlear Implant

The studies on cochlear implants have been conducted in the United States, Austria, Brasil, France, Finland, and some other countries. Up to now, this technique does not seem to have a wide spread application. Indeed it can only apply cases of deafness still presenting sufficient neural remnants to transmit the message. Moreover, the patient must be totally deaf( quasi­ complete loss of har cel...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Compatibility of the Polymer-based Cochlear Implant

OBJECTIVES In this study, we compared the magnetic resonance (MR) image artifacts caused by a conventional metal-based cochlear implant and a newly developed liquid crystal polymer (LCP)-based device. METHODS The metal-based cochlear implant system (Nurobiosys Co.) was attached to side of the head of a subject and the LCP-based device was attached to opposite side. In both devices, alignment ...

Facial Nerve Stimulation in Cochlear Implant Patients

Cochlear Implant

Cochlear implants are first true bionic sense organs Like human inner ear hair cells they convert mechanical sound energy into electrical impulses. Cochlear implants are not hearing aids which merely amplify mechanical sound waves and increase their energy content Otter et al have shown that in the normal auditory nerve in young people there are approximately 35,000 nerve fibres; they concluded...
