Twelve deaf adults and two deaf children were treated with the Ineraid (formerly Symbion) four channel intracochlear implant between September 1989 and October 1991 at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. All were post-lingually totally deaf and had found themselves beyond the reach of hearing aids. The effect of the implant upon the patients ability to lip-read was tested with the speech tracking test, BKB sentences (comparable to CID sentences) and Boothroyd word lists (comparable to NU6 word lists). All patients showed an improvement in their ability to understand speech with the help of the implant. Discrimination of speech without lip-reading was tested with Boothroyd word lists and BKB sentences, eight patients (57 per cent) demonstrated some 'open set' speech discrimination. The acceptability of the carbon percutaneous pedestal is discussed from the patient's, audiologist's and surgeon's points of view.
1989年9月至1991年10月期间，12名成年聋人和2名儿童聋人在剑桥阿登布鲁克医院接受了Ineraid（前身为Symbion）四通道人工耳蜗植入。所有患者均为语后全聋，且发现助听器对他们无效。通过言语跟踪测试、BKB句子（类似于CID句子）和布思罗伊德单词列表（类似于NU6单词列表）对植入物对患者唇读能力的影响进行了测试。所有患者在植入物的帮助下理解言语的能力均有所提高。使用布思罗伊德单词列表和BKB句子对无唇读情况下的言语辨别能力进行了测试，8名患者（57%）表现出一定的“开放式”言语辨别能力。从患者、听力学家和外科医生的角度讨论了碳质经皮基座的可接受性。
