  • Title: [Experiences with the implantation of a multichannel electrode in the acoustic nerve].
    Author: Naumann HH, Zwicker E, Scherer H, Seifert J, Leysieffer H, Zollner M.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1986 Mar; 65(3):118-22. PubMed ID: 3754920.
    Abstract:
    The authors developed a surgical approach to the acoustic nerve enabling the introduction of an electrode into the acoustic nerve. A multichannel electrode was implanted by this method in a deaf patient. The receiver casing for percutaneous transmission was fixed in the mastoid. Encouraging hearing results were obtained over a period of two months by electrical stimulation of the acoustic nerve.
