[Presentation of the prototype of a fully implanted cochlear prosthesis].
Description of the prototype of a fully implanted cochlear implant demonstrating the feasibility of a prosthesis with no external component within the next few years. The battery is reloaded by means of electromagnetic induction, and the sound message is received by a subcutaneous microphone, which already has a satisfactory bandwitch and signal-to-noise ratio. This system can be generally applied to most types of permanent intracorporeal stimulation.
