Artificial labyrinth
 | Artificial labyrinth is implanted into the patient who can't hear by using any hearing aids. It directly stimulates the acoustic nerve to convert sounds into electric signals. There are only 4-5 thousands people who use artificial labyrinth in Japan, but application to children arouses public interest. Dr.Yasuhiro Kakazu says that the number of children is 30% of users, but is increasing recently. The user shows good effects to mental development, such as hearing, speaking and looking. |
