title: [Biocompatibility of cochlear implants].
abstract: Ceramic, titanium and platinum guarantee a perfect bio-compatibility for cochlear implants. Moreover the long term efficacy of the electrode nerve interface is obtained thanks to a limited electric current density. Failure risks of implanted electronic are decreased by use of carefully selected components.
