Cochlear implants

{{quotations|section|date=April 2017}}

"During the 1970s, a group in the United Kingdom, headed by Ellis Douek, began experimenting with an extracochlear electrode that was stationed on the promontory near the round window ... this device created a great deal of interest because it was judge to be the more conservative, less invasive, approach."[6]

"In Britain ... [I]t all started in the early 1970s, soon after Ellis Douek's appointment to a senior ear, nose and throat post at London’s Guy's Hospital. The Department of Health, prompted by a deafened Member of Parliament active on behalf of the disabled (Jack Ashley, now Lord Ashley), suggested to Douek that his speciality was doing far too little on sensorineural deafness, and why didn't he do something in that area?"[7]

Autobiography
