    The last two decades have seen major advances in cochlear implants for profoundly deaf people. Implants are now used by severely to profoundly deaf adults and children in almost every phase of daily life. They have become an established treatment, and today's expectations for all aspects of the cochlear implant system are much greater than they were for the experimental devices of the early 1980s. Hardware designs have improved to meet clinical and research demands, technological developments have made the devices smaller and more reliable, and speech processing research has yielded a series of improvements in patient benefit.

    Comparison of current speech coding strategies
    Whitford, L. A. ; Seligman, P. M. ; Blamey, Peter J. ; McDermott, H. J. ; Patrick, J. F. ( 1993)
    This paper reports on two studies carried out at the University of Melbourne jointly with Cochlear Pty Ltd. The studies demonstrated substantial speech perception improvements over the current Multipeak strategy in background noise.

    A multiple electrode cochlear implant
    Clark, Graeme M. ; Tong, Y. C. ; Black, R. ; Forster, I. C. ; Patrick, J. F. ; Dewhurst, D. J. (Cambridge University Press, 1977)
    It is generally agreed that if a cochlear implant hearing prosthesis is to enable a patient to understand speech, it must be a multiple-electrode system. In addition, stimulation of the auditory nervous system should approximate the patterns of neural excitation occurring in people with normal hearing, and this is especially important when a patient has previously experienced hearing. For this reason the correct application of electrophysiological principles to the design of a hearing prosthesis is desirable, and is discussed in this paper with special reference to a device developed in the Departments of Otolaryngology and Electrical Engineering at the University of Melbourne (UMDOLEE).
