AB  - The multichannel Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) is an implantable device designed to restore a level of auditory perception in patients with bilateral acoustic neuromas, where the removal of the tumours is expected to result in a total loss of hearing.  As with the cochlear implant, the ABI utilises an externally worn speech processor and headset, together with a surgically-placed receiver-stimulator and electrode array.  The electrode array, developed through the collaboration of the House Ear Institute in the United States and Cochlear Corporation, consists of eight electrodes on a carrier, which is placed on the surface of the brainstem in the area of the cochlear nucleus.
