AWhat changed
Documented long-term implantation and sustained electronic cochlear stimulation in a human participant.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact two-author 1973 report and its very small early clinical scope. It does not establish modern multichannel speech outcomes, universal safety or efficacy, and other cochlear-implant pioneers and later devices retain separate credit.
