title: [Cochlear implants and total cochlear obstruction].
abstract: Total cochlea obstruction is not a contraindication for cochlear implant. We report our experience owing to the single channel cochlear implant Monosonic (9 cases), partial insertion of the electrodes-array (3 cases: 1 Digisonic and 2 minisystem) and, more recently the separate electrodes version of the Digisonic (6 cases). This new device is encouraging because it supplies 2/5 patients with telephone use.
