RMS - Cochlear Implants

The cochlear implant is arguably the most successful electronic prosthesis ever to enter clinical service, with over one million severe to profoundly deaf adult or paediatric recipients. Since the early single-channel devices of the 1970s, technology has progressed to the point where most recipients can understand speech in favourable listening situations.
