Description

A kind of artificial cochlea device based on multi-channel light stimulation
Technical field
The invention belongs to and utilize photostimulation to repair the auditory function technical field, be specifically related to a kind of the utilization and implant the device that i-coch multi-channel laser stimulator recovers auditory function.
Background technology
Because the deafness that disease, medicine or other reasons cause increases year by year, according to the data that Ministry of Public Health is announced, the existing deaf and dumb patient of China reaches 2,700 ten thousand people, and wherein 8,000,000 is severe deafness, and the neonate sickness rate is about 0.6%, annual newly-increased nearly 200,000 people of deaf-mute child.The artificial cochlea is that unique bilateral severe or neural deafness patient of utmost point severe phonosensitive of making that medical circle is generally acknowledged recovers the clinical means of audition.
Artificial cochlea's technology was risen the eighties in last century, had experienced the evolution of single track artificial cochlea to the multiple tracks artificial cochlea, and the clinical practice experience in more than 20 year is arranged.Simultaneously, because the related technical difficulty height of artificial cochlea, technology such as particularly little processing and manufacturing, neural interface, Wicresoft's implantation, and the monopolization of patent, three company's productive manpower cochlea are abroad only arranged at present, the Advanced Bionics company and the Austrian MED-EL company that comprise Australian Cochlear company, the U.S., about ten thousand yuans of product price 20-25.
China artificial cochlea's key technology research starts from the nineties in last century, Fudan University has early begun The Research of Relevant Technology work, successively succeed in developing single-channel pulse formula artificial cochlea and single track continous way artificial cochlea, and developed homemade artificial cochlea's model machine cooperatively and carried out clinical experiment with Lishengte Medical Science ﹠ Tech. Co., Ltd..Units such as Hangzhou Nuorkang Neural Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., acoustics institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have also developed cochlear implant.
The cochlear implant that enters clinical practice at present is based on the implantable nerve electrical stimulation technology, is that current impulse triggers i-coch auditory nerve and causes neural impulse with the speech signal coding that collects, and imports brain auditory nerve maincenter into and then produces audition.Wang Zhengmin has proposed a kind of multiple tracks program-controlled manual cochlea (patent publication No. CN2261828), its principal character is formed by receiving microphone, speech processor, bonder, reception stimulator and electrode bundle, with speech signal coding is that the electrode bundle of electrical stimulation signal through implanting cochlea stimulates i-coch auditory nerve, causes that by electricity irritation neural impulse produces audition at auditory center; Zhou Shuiwen etc. have proposed a kind of Menas for inner planting artificial cochlea (patent publication No. CN1861024), and its principal character forms electrode sequence in the cochlea by 22 platinum rings that are arranged in order, and stimulating current is auditory nerve in electrode acts on cochlea; U.S. Michael A Fa Erdisi has proposed a kind of cochlear stimulation device (patent publication No. CN101001666), and its principal character is electric stimulation pulse directly to be stimulated the auditory nerve of cochlea by being positioned over i-coch electrod-array with a plurality of electrode contacts.
In sum, present artificial cochlea belongs to cochlear implant, generally partly form by mike, speech processor, electric impulse signal generation circuit and the multi-channel electrode that is attached thereto thereof etc., mike becomes current signal to speech conversion and delivers to language processor and carry out voice signal processing and coding, the output of the voice signal control impuls generation circuit behind the coding, stimulating current directly stimulates i-coch auditory nerve through implanting i-coch electrod-array, cause neural impulse, import brain auditory nerve maincenter into and then produce audition.。Cochlear implant stimulating electrode array distribution at the bottom of by snail to the different parts of snail point; Since at the bottom of the snail to high-frequency sound signal sensitivity and the snail point to low-frequency sound signal sensitivity, by near the output of the electrode at the bottom of the snail, and sound low frequency signal coding back is by the electrode output near the snail point with sound high-frequency information coding back for cochlear implant.Though place more stimulating electrode along cochlea in theory frequency resolution is increased, but because the electric current of each electrode output can spread to all directions by i-coch perilymph liquid, the electric current of this diffusion can cause a stimulating electrode to cause near it in a big way auditory nerve excitement, this has hindered the increase of stimulating electrode array density, thereby has limited the raising of the frequency resolution of cochlear implant.In addition, stimulating current flows into biological tissue through electrode, and chemical reaction will take place, and this be to also will influencing the long-lasting of stimulating electrode work, and brings relevant biocompatibility, biological safety problem.
Discover, replace electricity irritation can cause neural excitation equally with photostimulation.Human optical fiber such as the Richter of Northwestern Univ USA replace electrode, and with the auditory nerve fiber in the laser replacement galvanism cochlea of guinea pigs, the result shows that photostimulation has successfully triggered auditory nerve.The distinguishing feature of laser is a good directionality, can only be radiated at the nerve fiber that optical fiber output is faced from the laser of optical fiber output, and can not spread to all directions as electric current in the electricity irritation, therefore the stimulation laser beam of exporting from two adjacent fibers can not produce the interaction as the stimulating current of two adjacent electrodes outputs.Therefore, utilization is placed on i-coch multi-channel laser output device to stimulate the auditory nerve of cochlea diverse location, for the auditory function reparation provides a kind of new technological approaches, it can greatly reduce the interchannel phase mutual interference that may occur when increasing the stimulating electrode number, this provides powerful measure for the frequency resolution that improves the artificial cochlea; Simultaneously,, avoided cochlear implant moderate stimulation electric current to flow into the chemical reaction that cochlear tissue can take place, guaranteed the biocompatibility of laser stimulation output device and cochlear tissue because laser is contactless stimulation to the stimulation of cochlea.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the technical deficiency of existing cochlear implant, a kind of artificial cochlea device based on multi-channel light stimulation is proposed, it is an optical stimulus signal with sound signal encoding, cause neural impulse and then form audition by the multichannel light pulse output end mouth stimulation cochlea auditory nerve of implanting cochlea at nervus centralis, avoid the compatibility difficult problem of cochlear implant moderate stimulation electrode and biological tissue thus, also avoid because electric current spreads the mutual interference of caused interchannel phase in tissue.
