There have been significant advances in the diversity and effectiveness of hearing technologies in recent years. Implanted auditory devices may be divided into those that stimulate the cochlear hair cells (bone conduction devices and middle ear implants), and those that stimulate the neural structures (cochlear implants and central auditory implants). Contemporary preoperative and postoperative imaging may be used to help individualise implant selection, optimise surgical technique and predict auditory outcome. This review will introduce the concepts behind auditory implants, and explains how imaging is increasingly used to aid insertion and evaluation of these devices.
近年来，听力技术在多样性和有效性方面取得了重大进展。植入式听觉装置可分为刺激耳蜗毛细胞的装置（骨传导装置和中耳植入物）以及刺激神经结构的装置（人工耳蜗和中枢听觉植入物）。当代术前和术后成像可用于帮助个性化植入物选择、优化手术技术并预测听觉结果。本综述将介绍听觉植入物背后的概念，并解释成像如何越来越多地用于辅助这些装置的植入和评估。
