Abstract

Hearing became a model for restoration of neuronal function with different prosthetic devices for the middle and inner ear, as well as for the brainstem. The chapter describes the most successful neuroprosthetic device, the cochlear implant, clinically used in 2020 by 600,000 subjects worldwide. It explains the basic principles of electrical stimulation, the design of implants, the general function of signal processors, the outcomes as well as limitations in clinical use. It reviews central aspects of deafness in children and adults, discusses the concepts of plasticity, critical periods for cochlear implantations in deaf children and cross-modal interactions.
