Introduction:
Nowadays there are some technical problems regarding totally implantable cochlear
implants. In such cases there are microphone problems which are attached under the
skin and picks up a lot of parasite noises (blood vessels pressure etc.).
Methods:
Microphone problems might be overcome by an internal detector of incus movements due
to intact tympanic membrane and intact ossicular chain. Incus movement LASER assessment
might be an option. Totally implantable cochlear implant is placed in the mastoid
cavity and it is anchored to the bone. Regarding the auto sustained battery there
might be the following solutions: pressure movement chargers attached to the Superficial
Temporal and Occipital Arteries, stretching arches chargers attached to the Temporalis
and SternoCleidoMastoid Muscles.
Result s: A LASER assessment soft for incus movement is needed to be developed. The
solution efficiency for pressure movement chargers attached to the Superficial Temporal
and Occipital Arteries and stretching arches chargers attached to the Temporalis and
SternoCleidoMastoid Muscles is needed to be developed (energy quantification, etc.).
Conclusion:
There is a need for an improvement in totally implantable cochlear implants.
