Slide 1-

Cochlear Implants: Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going Amber M. Gardner, Ph.D., CCC-A University of Virginia Health System
Slide 2-

Early Attempts… Alessandro Volta – early 1800s became the first to stimulate the auditory system electrically Two metal rods in his ears (approx. 50V) “a boom within the head” followed by a sound similar to that of boiling thick soup
Slide 3-

Early Attempts… Realization made over the next 50-60 years that since sound is more of an alternating signal, stimulating with DC wasn’t going to produce an adequate hearing sensation Duchenne – 1885 – used an alternating current “the beating of a fly’s wings between a pane of glass and a curtain” Improving, but not there yet…
Slide 4-

Early Attempts… Brenner – 1868 – published study that revealed hearing sensation was better using negative polarity. Also found that a reduction of unpleasant side effects could be achieved with correct placement of the electrodes
Slide 5-

Early Attempts… 1930s – thermonic valve (vacuum tube) was introduced and this allowed greater precision in electrical stimulation Wever & Bray (1930)– electrical response recorded near the auditory nerve of a cat was similar (freq. & amplitude) to sounds to which the ear had been exposed
Slide 6-

Early Attempts… Gersuni & Volokhov (1936) First to demonstrate that with electrical stimulation hearing sensation still remained after removal of tympanic membrane & ossicles – theorized the cochlea was the site of stimulation
Slide 7-

Early Attempts… Stevens & Jones (1939) – Listed several mechanisms that produced hearing when the cochlea was stimulated electrically Electrical energy could be converted into sound by a direct effect on the basilar membrane that would vibrate maximally at a point determined by the frequency – these vibrations would stimulate the hair cells Direct stimulation of the auditory nerve produced a crude hearing sensation.
Slide 8-

Early Attempts… 1940s & 1950s – Researchers began to realize that if more precise hearing sensations were to be produced stimulation of the auditory nerve fibers must be more localized vs. widespread current.
Slide 9-

Early Attempts… 1950 – Lundberg stimulated the auditory nerve during a neurosurgical operation. Used a sinusoidal current - patient only heard noise. 1957 – Djourno & Eyries – placed a wire directly on the auditory nerve (cholesteatoma surgery). Initially pt. just heard “a roulette wheel” & “a cricket” but was eventually able to differentiate pitch and identify several words.
Slide 10-

Getting Closer Doyle et al (1964) inserted an electrode array (4 electrodes) into the cochlea of a deaf patient Patient was able to repeat phrases Simmons (1966) inserted an electrode array into the cochlea with more precision (closer to the modiolus) Patient had ability to determine signal duration length and tonality was achieved
Slide 11-

Almost There Early 1970s - Michelson and House - insertion of electrode array through scala tymani driven by implantable receiver stimulators. 1972 – speech processor developed to interface with the House 3M single electrode implant & was commercially marketed. Single channel devices - very poor speech understanding (especially in open set)
Slide 12-

Multi-channel Cochlear Implant Rod Saunders – First multi-channel CI patient (1978) Courtesy: Cochlear
Slide 13-

Increasing Channels - Speech Channels will increase from 1 to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 8 to 32 – note the improvement in quality.
Slide 14-

Increasing Channels - Music First you will hear the song with 4 channels, then 8, then 16, then 32 – finally you will hear the original. Demo

Slide 41-

Future Directions Greater number of bilateral recipients Hybrid/EAS cochlear implants Totally implantable cochlear implants
Slide 42-

Bilateral CI Benefits Improved localization Improved speech in noise performance Insurance Coverage - class action law-suits
Slide 43-

Hybrid/EAS EAS - Electric-Acoustic Stimulation Combination of CI & HA High frequency information - shorter electrode array Low frequency information - HA (typically mild to moderate HL) Still in clinical trials in US Approved in Europe (2007) All 3 companies still in US trials 43 MedEl Duet Courtesy: MedEl
Slide 44-

Hybrid/EAS European & trial data indicates patients are performing significantly better with EAS than CI alone or HA alone Noted especially in music & speech in noise Points to consider Risk of damage to residual hearing acuity during original insertion of electrode array What is the course of action if hearing acuity changes and HA is no longer beneficial - additional surgery with new/standard array?
Slide 45-

Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant (TICI/TIKI) Internal Components Rechargeable battery (lithium ion) Microphone (subcutaneous) Speech processor External Hardware Battery recharger On/Off Volume/Sensitivity
Slide 46-

TIKI
Slide 47-

Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant (TICI/TIKI) Benefits No external parts able to “hide deafness” no cables, mics... to break Able to hear 24hrs a day (in shower, while sleeping...)
Slide 48-

Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant (TICI/TIKI) Disadvantages Larger internal device - more surgical time/larger incision Battery will have to be replaced (approx. 6yrs) Replace only battery or entire device? Hear “body noises” (breathing, swallowing). Some people are unable to adjust to these.
Slide 49-

TIKI Results 3 patients implanted Melbourne Able to have “invisible hearing” or use 3G processor Hearing acuity TIKI - Mild to moderate HL (improving to mild HL after 6 months) 3G - Hearing WNL Speech discrimination - CNC Lists TIKI - 33% (Improved as compared to pre-op) 3G - 77%
