title: [Problem of cochlear implantation: brief introduction].
abstract: The only method of hearing rehabilitation for patients with severe hypoacusis and peripheral deafness is cochlear implantation consisting of insertion of electrodes into the scala tympani and direct electric impulse stimulation of the auditory nerve adjusted to the input acoustic signal. Only few such operations have been performed in this country. Much effort should be devoted to training of specialists and advocating this method among practitioners.
