    Research in the area of cochlear prostheses to restore a level of hearing sensation to the profoundly deaf has been ongoing at a number of centers throughout the world since the 1960's. 3, 4, 7, 8,. Work on a multichannel cochlear implant that utilizes a speech feature extraction coding strategy and multi-sited, sequential, bipolar stimulation to enhance pitch perception began at the University of Melbourne under the direction of Professor Graeme Clark in the 1970's. Collaboration with Nucleus Limited, a multi-national biomedical corporation from Australia, led to the development of the current version of the prosthesis. The Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant System has been described in detail elsewhere. 1, 5
