Since the end of the 1970s, cochlear implants have been gradually acknowledged as a conventional method for the rehabilitation of deafness which significantly improves quality of life. Nowadays, people with profound hearing loss can recover or have access to hearing. Every year in France, approximately 1,000 people benefit from a cochlear implantation. However, great disparities persist and there is a "continuous spectrum" of performances in implanted patients, ranging from total failure to the restoration of a near-normal speech comprehension. Several physiological and technical factors help to explain some of the variability in the results. In this work we investigated the effect of the bioelectric interaction between the electrodes and t...
