Cochlear implants: an introduction

The development of biomedical engineering in recent decades has led to a revolution in the development of prosthetics for people with disabilities. The field of prosthetics for sensory organs, however, has proven a challenge for scientists, who are faced with the problem of discovering how the body...

El campo de las prótesis para órganos sensoriales, sin embargo, ha probado ser un reto para los científicos, que se encuentran con el problema de descubrir cómo el cuerpo percibe las señales que llegan desde el mundo exterior y las transforma para ser asimiladas por nuestro cerebro. Dentro de este campo se encuentran los implantes cocleares que, aunque aún distan de tener un funcionamiento perfecto, han evolucionado de manera sorprendente gracias a los esfuerzos de los investigadores, y hoy brindan a millones de personas en el mundo la posibilidad de escuchar y comunicarse. Este artículo pretende hacer una breve revisión de los conceptos fundamentales involucrados en la labor del sistema auditivo, y la forma en que los implantes cocleares funcionan.application/pdfspaUniversidad Antonio Nariñohttp://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/ingeuan/article/view/344/2862346-14462145-0935INGE@UAN - TENDENCIAS EN LA INGENIERÍA; Vol. 2 Núm. 4 (2012)Cochlear implantsauditory prothesesauditory systemelectrodesspeech recognitionsoundearcochleaCochlear implants: an introductionCochlear implants: an introductioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85123456789/3917oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/39172024-10-09 22:53:23.061https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Acceso abiertometadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co
