title: [Multi-electrode extra-cochlear implants].
abstract: From july 1987 through july 1989, we have performed eight extra-cochlear implants for the rehabilitation of bilateral total deafness. In this paper we develop this experience, to give the positive aspects but also the negative ones and we give the reasons why we prefer currently the intra-cochlear implant. However this implant and its method are a good solution in case of an ossified cochlea.
