COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION IN IRAN
General

Original Research
Original Research
Cochlear implantation has become an increasingly common procedure in the
rehabilitation of selected cases of profound deafness.' Patients should have profound
total bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Sound is transformed into small electric
currents which stimulate the auditory nerves in the cochlea and generate the hearing
sensation.
The nucleus cochlear implant is the result of more than 20 years of research and
development and has been used in more than 9000 patients worldwide to date.'
After two years of research in order to provide the cochlear implant in the Farsi
(Persian) language, three out of 54 post lingual totally deaf patients up to now have
undergone the cochlear implant operation with a 22-channel mini-system through
a Lehnhardt incision, mastoidectomy, facial recess, and cochleostomy
procedure.3-4
One month following the implant, these patients were undergoing speech
education and auditory training by using innovative rehabilitation techniques for
deaf people in the Persian language. This report deals with presenting three cases
implanted by a cochlear implantation team in [ran and the results of rehabilitation
following implant.
