- Abstract
For the more than 200,000 individuals in the United States with a bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss, the cochlear implant offers a means of breaking this barrier of total silence. The pioneers in prosthetic research hoped that direct stimulation of the cochlea might at least give an awareness of sound through the auditory sense. There will be a review of five patients who were consecutively implanted with the Ineraid multichannel cochlear implant, with 1 year follow-up. All individuals were postlingually deafened adults and exhibited a bilateral profound hearing loss.
