Abstract
• Implantation of a multiple-channel electrode prosthesis has proven to be a successful approach to the profoundly deafened patient, acquired or congenital.
• The results in the post lingual deafened patient are superior to those in the patients with congenital forms of profound hearing loss.
• Insertion of the prosthesis close to spiral ganglion cells in Rosenthal’s canal (scala tympani is the desired location).
• The intracochlear prosthesis may be introduced via a transmastoid approach through the facial recess or a transcanal approach through the posterior epitympanic space.
