Patent

CA 2380434

An electrode array for use with a cochlear implant is disclosed, which has electrodes selectively spaced to better target selected regions of the cochlea. In one form, the spacing between adjacent electrodes decreases towards an apical end of the array, allowing the electrodes to better target receptors on the inner wall of the scala timpani of the cochlea.

L'invention concerne un réseau d'électrodes utilisé avec un implant cochléaire. Ce réseau comprend des électrodes espacées de manière sélective de façon à mieux cibler des régions sélectionnées de la cochlée. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'espacement entre des électrodes adjacentes dimininue au niveau d'une extrémité apicale dudit réseau, ce qui permet aux électrodes de mieux cibler les récepteurs situés sur la paroi interne de la rampe tympanique de la cochlée.
