Descriptor English: Auditory Brain Stem Implants
Descriptor Spanish: Implantes Auditivos de Tronco Encefálico
Descriptor implantes auditivos de tronco encefálico
Scope note: Dispositivos auditivos de múltiples canales utilizados en los pacientes con tumores en el NERVIO COCLEAR y que no pueden beneficiarse de IMPLANTES COCLEARES después de la cirugía de extirpación tumoral por seccionar el nervio coclear. El dispositivo estimula eléctricamente los nervios del núcleo coclear del TRONCO ENCEFÁLICO en vez del oído interno como en los implantes cocleares.

Scope note: Multi-channel hearing devices typically used for patients who have tumors on the COCHLEAR NERVE and are unable to benefit from COCHLEAR IMPLANTS after tumor surgery that severs the cochlear nerve. The device electrically stimulates the nerves of cochlea nucleus in the BRAIN STEM rather than the inner ear as in cochlear implants.
