| Sumario: | A cochlear implant is an electronic prosthesis used in the rehabilitation of profound bilateral hearing loss. It directly stimulates cochlear nerve fibers by bypassing the hair cells. This high-performance technology, which appeared 60 years ago, has spread widely throughout the world and is regularly used in hearing rehabilitation. In developing countries, the adoption and development of this tool are still lagging behind. The authors analyze factors delaying the penetration of cochlear implants in Senegal. |
