    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.

    Historical perspectives
    Clark, Graeme M. (Singular Publishing, 1997)
    Initial attempts to help profoundly deaf people understand speech by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve commenced in the 1950s and 1960s (Djourno & Eyrtes. 1957; Doyle. Doyle. &Turnbull. 1964; House. Berliner. Crary. Graham. Luckey. Norton. Selters. Tobin Urban & Wexler. 1976; Simmons. Monegeon. Lewis. & Huntington. 1964). The procedures were carried out on isolated patients. Raw or filtered speech was presented to the electrodes but no speech understanding was obtained.
