Recent clinical results show that electrical excitation of hearing sensations with implanted electrodes in the inner ear can be successful in suitable deaf persons. A critical literature review shows that some results have been described too vaguely and that there still exist numerous methodical and technical deficiencies. Even with multichannel stimulation, true tonotopical hearing could not be achieved. Periodicity hearing alone is not sufficient for the discrimination of one-syllable words. However, most deaf persons fitted with surgically implanted electrodes judged the new hearing sensations as being agreeable and quite useful. There seem to be no long term harmful effects of these implants upon the state of the acoustic nerve. However there are still a series of basic questions in auditory physiology pending which can only be solved through intensive collaboration of the clinical disciplines involved.
近期临床结果表明，在内耳植入电极进行听觉感受的电刺激，对于合适的聋人来说是可行的。一项批判性文献综述显示，一些结果描述得过于模糊，并且仍然存在许多方法和技术上的缺陷。即使采用多通道刺激，也无法实现真正的音调定位听力。仅周期性听力不足以辨别单音节单词。然而，大多数接受手术植入电极的聋人认为新的听觉感受是令人愉悦且非常有用的。这些植入物似乎对听神经状态没有长期有害影响。然而，听觉生理学中仍有一系列基本问题悬而未决，只有通过相关临床学科的密切合作才能解决。
