Extract

An interesting and unexpected benefit of the cochlear implant is a significant reduction in tinnitus in many patients who use the device.

Dr. William F. House has implanted a single-channel cochlear implant device in 50 patients. The implanted electronics are: an induction coil, which is embedded in the bone in the postauricular area; an active electrode, which is passed through the opened facial recess into the round window and approximately 20 mm. into the scala tympani; and a ground electrode, which is placed into either the attic area or Eustachian tube area.
