Surgical procedure and results of implantation of the Czech cochlear neuroprosthesis.
A special surgical procedure was developed for the implantation of the Czech single-channel extracochlear neuroprosthesis. The implantation was performed in four adult, postlingually deaf subjects. In one patient a successful reimplantation was performed. The authors assess the implant patients' ability to differentiate changes in simple stimulation signals.
