From the time single-channel cochlear implants were first implanted in children in the early 1980s in Los Angeles (Laxford et al 1987) closely followed in 1985 by the multiple-channel cochlear implant in Melbourne (Clark et al 1987a, 1987b) there has been a considerable expansion in the work to apply the multiple-channel cochlear implant to infants and young children.
