Les implants du tronc cérébral permettent de transformer les signaux analogiques enregistrés par un microphone en signaux électriques pour stimuler directement le noyau cochléaire. L’implant du tronc cérébral a bénéficié des technologies développées pour l’implant cochléaire, la stimulation se faisant dans ce cas sur le noyau cochléaire, et non sur les cellules ciliées. 2, record 1, French, - implant%20du%20tronc%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral
