title: Cochlear implants. Present and future.
abstract: The perfect cochlear implant has eluded the many research teams around the world that are studying it. In the hope that someone may develop one system that is clearly better than the others, I believe that each team should pursue its own ideas and methods. We have at least another 20 years of step-by-small step development if we are to continue to improve the cochlear implant.
