Summary

The objective of this scientific study is to evaluate the feasibility of direct auditory nerve stimulation to elicit key percepts, specifically loudness and frequency/pitch percepts in three deaf patients participants with the new auditory nerve implant (ANI). During the year with temporary stimulation of the auditory nerve, patients participants are expected to participate for 14 months, consisting of: two months for surgery for the nerve implant and healing phase, one month initial follow-up, ten months of follow-up care and study testing, and one month for explanation and post-operative observation.
