Abstract:
:With the FDA approval of the first cochlear implant device in November 1984, the possibility of the perception of sound became a reality for the profoundly deaf individual. The cochlear implant group of Cincinnati was involved in the coinvestigator study before the approval of the device. This paper presents data from seven patients with cochlear implants and the resulting improvement in their hearing perception, as well as a discussion about which patients can benefit from the cochlear implant.
