L'impianto cocleare totalmente impiantabile (ICTI) è un nuovo tipo di impianto cocleare attualmente in fase di sviluppo. A differenza di un impianto cocleare convenzionale, che ha sia un componente interno (l'impianto) che un componente esterno (il processore audio), tutti i componenti dell’ICTI, compresi il microfono e la batteria, sono impiantati sotto la pelle.[1] Ciò rende l’ICTI completamente invisibile dall'esterno.

L’ICTI è attualmente nella fase di sviluppo dello studio di fattibilità clinica.[2] Il primo paziente in Europa è stato impiantato con un ICTI nel settembre 2020 nell'ambito di una sperimentazione clinica.[3]

Parti

L'ICTI contiene gli stessi componenti interni di un impianto cocleare convenzionale, tra cui il magnete, la bobina dell’antenna, l’elettronica e l’array di elettrodi. Tuttavia, include anche caratteristiche tipiche di un processore audio, come una batteria ricaricabile impiantata e un microfono.[4] I componenti dell'ICTI possono essere integrati in un’unica struttura (design monobody) o collegati tramite connettori, consentendo la sostituzione dei singoli moduli in caso di guasto.[5]

Alcuni dispositivi esterni saranno comunque necessari. La batteria interna viene caricata transcutaneamente tramite un caricatore esterno, ad esempio durante la notte mentre l’utente dorme.[1] Inoltre, potrebbe essere richiesto un telecomando o un’app per accendere e spegnere l’impianto, regolare la sensibilità del microfono e controllare lo stato della batteria, tra altre funzioni.[4]

Vantaggi

Un impianto cocleare totalmente impiantabile - e quindi "invisibile" - è visto come un vantaggio per gli utenti, in particolare quelli che si sentono a disagio di indossare apparecchi acustici visibili.[5]

Inoltre, poiché l’ICTI non ha componenti esterni, è meno suscettibile a piccole rotture da urti e cadute.[5] La mancanza di parti esterne significa anche che non possono essere mal riposti, un problema comune con gli utenti pediatrici.

Un ICTI può funzionare durante la doccia, il nuoto e durante molti tipi di attività fisica vigorosa. Ciò consente all'utente di sentire durante lo svolgimento di queste attività.[5]
