Abstract

An amplitude modulated radio frequency energy method (the TD system) is described which was applied to the problem of the rehabilitation of sensorineural hearing loss. The TD system was tested on a group of 40 patients with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss using a double blind experimental design. The treated group showed a statistically significant improvement in PB word discrimination scores when compared to the control group. Evidence is presented to show that speech discrimination hearing is possible by means of TD etectrostimu-lation in a totally deaf patient.
