Cochlear implants: update of the program at the University of British Columbia.
Since 1982, we have performed 26 cochlear implants at the University of British Columbia. The first 14 patients were implanted with the House/3M single-channel unit and the last 12 have been implanted with the Nucleus 22-channel unit. This paper reviews the methods used in patient selection and rehabilitation and compares the results obtained in patients using a single-channel with those using a multi-channel unit.
