Popis: The establishment of a cochlear implant team and the implementation of the Oklahoma City project was for the purpose of monitoring techniques and results reported by other investigators as well as perhaps contributing to the improvement of this method of restoring sound to profoundly deafened individuals. Years of planning and 3 years of actual experience with over 25 patients who have been implanted will be documented. Technical advances in prosthetic attachments and new transformer circuitry as well as better methods of evaluating results will be presented. Our assessment of the value of the cochlear implant and its future will be discussed.
