Cochlear Implants In The Second And Third Millennia, Graeme M. Clark, Department of Otolaryngology, University of Melbourne (Australia), Page (NA) Paper number 1155
Abstract:
Much has been achieved in the Second Millennium in the development of cochlear implants for profoundly deaf people, but further advances in the Third Millennium should result in most severely to profoundly deaf people being able to communicate effectively in a hearing community.
