摘要： A cochlear stimulation lead (150) having a pre-curved electrode array (70) is provided. The molding process provides memory to the curved part of the lead (71). The lead may be made having a stylet insertion channel (40) that extends from a slightly curved or substantially straight section (30) and into the highly curved section (71) of the lead (150). Because high compliance is desired for the lead in cochlear stimulation applications, the compliance is controlled not only by the taper at the distal end (72) of the lead (150) and overall lead thickness, but also by choosing the material hardness of the lead carrier/covering (60) and employing compliant zigzagged conductor wire (202). In addition, differential lead compliance/stiffness can be achieved by using a stiff tubing (41) that forms part of the stylet insertion channel (40).
摘要翻译：提供具有预弯曲电极阵列（70）的耳蜗刺激引线（150）。模制过程为引线（71）的弯曲部分提供记忆。引线可以制成具有从稍微弯曲或基本上直的部分（30）延伸并进入引线（150）的高度弯曲部分（71）的探针插入通道（40）。由于铅在耳蜗刺激应用中需要高柔顺性，所以柔顺性不仅受引线（150）的远端（72）处的锥度和整体引线厚度的控制，而且还通过选择引线的材料硬度载体/覆盖物（60）并采用柔性锯齿形导线（202）。另外，通过使用形成探针插入通道（40）的一部分的硬管（41）可以实现不同的导线柔顺性/刚度。

摘要： A fully implantable cochlear prosthesis includes: (a) an implantable hermetically sealed case (100) wherein electronic circuitry including a battery and an implantable microphone (1), are housed, (b) an active electrode array (29) that provides a programmable number of active electrode contacts through which stimulation current may be selectively delivered to surrounding tissue, preferably through the use of appropriate stimulation groups, and (c) a connector (9) that allows the active electrode array to be detachably connected with the electronic circuitry within the sealed case. The active electrode array provides a large number of both medial contacts and lateral contacts, any one of which may be selected to apply a stimulus pulse through active switching elements included within the array. The hermetically sealed case within which the electronic circuitry, battery, and microphone are housed may be replaced, when needed, through minimally invasive surgery. Further, the electronic circuitry housed within the hermetically sealed case may be programmed, as needed, using acoustic signals from an acoustic remote control (106) and/or RF control signals from an external programmer (104).

摘要： A cochlear implant system is provided that does not require a headpiece. Rather, the external coil used to transfer power and data and control signal to the implant device is integrated into the housing of the external processor. In one embodiment, where the external processor is carried within a behind-the-ear (BTE) module that is worn by a user of the cochlear implant system, the external coil is carried within the BTE module or housing, or formed as part of the ear hook used to hold the BTE module in place. Because the external transfer coil forms an integral part of the external portion of the system, the present invention does not require the use of an implanted magnet. Hence, the cochlear implant system can be described as headpieceless and magnetless (e.g., including a single external device).
摘要翻译：提供了一种不需要头戴耳机的人工耳蜗系统。相反，用于将功率和数据以及控制信号传送到植入装置的外部线圈集成到外部处理器的外壳中。在一个实施例中，当外部处理器被携带在由耳蜗植入系统的用户佩戴的耳后（BTE）模块内时，外部线圈被携带在BTE模块或壳体内，或者形成为用于将BTE模块固定到位的耳钩。由于外部传递线圈构成系统的外部部分的整体部分，所以本发明不需要使用植入的磁体。因此，耳蜗植入系统可以被描述为无头戴式和无磁性的（例如，包括单个外部装置）。

摘要： An In-The-Ear (ITE) microphone (22) improves the acoustic response of an Implantable Cochlar Stimulation (ICS) system during telephone use. An acoustically sealed volume may be provided by holding a telephone earpiece against the outer ear. The ITE microphone (22) is positioned to receive sound from the sealed volume. The result provides improved coupling of low frequency (up to about 1 KHz) sound waves, sufficient to overcome losses due to the near field acoustic characteristics resulting from the telephone microphone cooperation. In a preferred embodiment, the microphone (34) is connected to an ear hook (24) by a short bendable stalk (28), which earhook (24) is adapted to connect to a Behind-The-Ear speech Processor (10) of an ICS system.
