Abstract

The invention discloses a novel artificial cochlea electrode comprising a casing. A magnet and a coil are arranged at the rear end inside the casing; a stimulator / receiver is arranged at the front endinside the casing; an electrode wire is arranged at the most front end of the casing; and a through hole is formed in the side of the front end of the casing. A wire wrapping device is arranged at the front end of the casing and is arranged at the stimulator / receiver; the electrode wire is led out of the stimulator / receiver, passes through the wire wrapping device, and then extends out of the casing through the through hole; and an electrode is arranged at the tail end of the electrode wire. According to the invention, the wire outlet of the electrode wire is arranged at the side of the frontend of the casing and thus the axial length of the artificial cochlea implanting bodies like a coil or a stimulator / receiver can be reduced; because of the wire wrapping device arranged in the casing, the electrode wire has high mobility; and the length of the artificial cochlea electrode can be reserved, so that the novel artificial cochlea electrode can be used in future.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an artificial cochlear electrode, in particular to an artificial cochlear electrode for implanting through the auditory canal under the ear endoscope. Background technique [0002] Over the past two decades, with the development of high technology, cochlear implants have progressed rapidly, and have entered clinical application from experimental research. Cochlear implants are now used as a routine method for the treatment of severe deafness to total deafness all over the world. Cochlear implants are currently the most successful biomedical engineering devices. By the beginning of 2010, more than 100,000 deaf people in the world have used cochlear implants, and more than half of them are children. Cochlear implantation has been carried out in my country since 1995, and this technology is relatively mature. With the development of cochlear implantation work, the number of cases has increased and the scope of indications has e...
