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

Les recherches ont démontré que l'implantation cochléaire avant l'âge d’un an ne comportait pas de risques accrus sur le plan chirurgical. Par contre, le risque de ne pas avoir établi avec certitude le degré de perte auditive et le défi de programmer l'implant chez un très jeune enfant, demeurent. 1, record 2, French, - implantation%20cochl%C3%A9aire
