title: Cochlear implant.
abstract: Cochlear implantation to restore some of the hearing in the profound or totally cochlear deaf patient has been briefly presented. An approximate two year follow up has not shown any complications. The Nucleus 22 channel cochlear implant, as presently manufactured, is a very useful device to rehabilitate profoundly or totally cochlear deaf patients.
