Abstract
Cochlear implantation, a form of neural prosthesis, is now being employed for some profoundly deaf individuals. The pathophysiology of profound deafness, the strategies inherent in cochlear implantation, the differences between various cochlear implant strategies and designs, medical and otologic evaluation of implant candidates, and the surgical procedure are each discussed. The results in speech recognition and speech reading that have been obtained with four commonly used cochlear implant systems are also presented.
