On the occasion of the Cochlear Implant Symposium in Geneva in October 1991, top hearing results attained by a young postlingually deaf woman with cochlear implant systems were presented in video recordings. These data are centered on demanding hearing performances in test situations and in a telephone conversation. For various reasons, two reimplantations were necessary in this deaf patient. Initially, she was provided with a single-channel extra-cochlear electrode of the Vienna type, which she found to improve her lipreading substantially, and she attained an unexpectedly good understanding of speech on a purely auditory basis. Today, this postlingually deaf women uses a multichannel intracochlear electrode of the Nucleus type. The excellent results with the first extracochlear system are clearly surpassed with the intracochlear system. Not least because of her above-average speech competence, the cochlear implant user attains a high degree of open speech understanding. Her verbal hearing efficiency is comparable to that of a person with mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
1991年10月在日内瓦举行的人工耳蜗研讨会上，展示了一位年轻的语后聋女性使用人工耳蜗系统所取得的顶级听力效果的录像资料。这些数据集中在测试环境和电话交谈中的高要求听力表现上。由于各种原因，这位耳聋患者需要进行两次重新植入手术。最初，她使用的是维也纳型单通道体外电极，她发现这极大地提高了她的唇读能力，并且她在纯听觉基础上对语音的理解出乎意料地好。如今，这位语后聋女性使用的是Nucleus型多通道体内电极。体内电极系统的效果明显超越了第一个体外电极系统。这位人工耳蜗使用者不仅因为其高于平均水平的言语能力，还获得了高度的开放式言语理解能力。她的言语听力效率与轻度至中度重度听力损失者相当。
