ItemInsertion study using new peri-modiolar electrode array designs [Abstract]Treaba, Claudiu ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, Robert S. ; Tykocinski, Michael J. ; Cohen, Lawrence T. ; Saunders, Elaine ; Pyman, Brian C. ; Briggs, Robert S. ; Dahm, Markus C. ( 1999)Intracochlear multi-channel cochlear implants have been shown to successfully provide auditory information for profoundly deaf patients by electrically stimulating discrete populations of auditory nerve fibers via a scala tympani (ST) electrode array. Histological and radiological examination of implanted human temporal bones showed that the current straight Nucleus® array is usually positioned against the outer wall of the ST. An electrode array close to the modiolus could be expected to reduce stimulation thresholds and result in a more localized neural excitation pattern.
