[Development of a vestibular implant for the rehabilitation of bilateral deafness].
The development of a vestibular implant for the rehabilitation of bilateral vestibular loss is funded on a concept comparable to that of the cochlear implant used in the rehabilitation of bilateral deafness. This paper carries an overview of the main aspects of such a development and describes the first experiments done in human subjects in Geneva.
