Abstract - Cochlear
Implant History
This paper will provide a brief history and description of the Cochlear
Implant, including early research, development, experimentation, and
implementation of
the implant plus the names of many of the most renowned developers and
producers.
Section 2: Adam Kissiah's
involvement in hearing research subsequent to the experience of personal
hearing loss onset in the Early 1970s, deriving design of basic
specifications for simulation of the electronic functioning of the inner
ear (Cochlea) in humans. Kissiah’s subsequent award of Patent
(4,063,048, December 13, 1977) accomplished through the Kennedy Space
Center’s Technology Commercialization Program and Patent Counsel, James
O. Harrell, Esq.
Section 3: How our natural
hearing mechanism works, and how the Cochlear implant works in the
correction of hearing loss.
Section 4: Information
regarding implant availability including manufacturers, costs, clinics,
surgical aspects, and post-operative activation (therapy)
considerations.
Section 5: Sources for
additional information. |
