ItemA multiple-electrode cochlear implantClark, Graeme M. ; Tong, Y. C. ; Bailey, Q. R. ; Black, R. C. ; Martin, L. F. ; Millar, J. B. ; O'Loughlin B. J. ; Patrick, J. F. ; Pyman, B. C. ( 1978)Interest in artificially stimulating the auditory nerve electrically for sensori-neural deafness was first sparked off by Volta in the 18th century. Count Volta, who was the first to develop the electric battery, connected up a number of his batteries to two metal rods which he inserted into his ears. Having placed the rods in his ears he pressed the switch and received "une secousse dans la tete" and perceived a noise like "the boiling of thick soup".

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.
